Chapter 4. Letting Applications Understand Commands

"LUIS saved us tremendous time while going from a prototype to production."

- Eyal Yavor, Cofounder and CTO of Meekan

Throughout the previous chapters, we have focused on vision APIs. Starting with this chapter, we will move on to language APIs, where we will start with the Language Understanding Intelligent Service (LUIS). Throughout this chapter, you will learn how to create and maintain language-understanding models.

By the end of this chapter, we will have covered the following topics:

  • Creating language-understanding models

  • Handling common requests using prebuilt models from Bing and Cortana
