Introduction to Amazon Lex and its use cases

In this recipe, we will learn about Amazon Lex. We will also learn about the use cases of Amazon Lex.

Recipe Objective - Introduction to Amazon Lex and its use cases?

The Amazon Lex is a widely used service and is defined as an AWS service for creating speech and text-based conversational interfaces for the applications. Amazon Lex V2 gives users the power and flexibility of natural language understanding (NLU) and automated voice recognition (ASR), allowing users to establish new product categories and create highly engaging user experiences with lifelike, conversational interactions. Any developer may use Amazon Lex V2 to swiftly create conversational bots. No deep learning experience is required with Amazon Lex V2—users simply set the basic conversation flow in the Amazon Lex V2 dashboard to create a bot. Amazon Lex V2 controls the dialogue and changes the replies in real-time. Users may use the console to create, test, and publish a text or voice chatbot. The conversational interfaces may then be added to bots on mobile devices, online apps, and chat platforms (for example, Facebook Messenger). AWS Lambda is integrated with Amazon Lex V2, and users may interact with a variety of other AWS services, like Amazon Connect, Amazon Comprehend, and Amazon Kendra. Bots may use Lambda to connect to data in SaaS systems like Salesforce using pre-built serverless enterprise connectors.

Benefits of Amazon Lex

  • The Amazon Lex V2 walks users through creating their bot in minutes using the console. Users give Amazon Lex V2 a few sample sentences, and it creates a comprehensive natural language model with which the bot can communicate using speech and text to ask questions, obtain answers, and execute complex tasks thus it offers simplicity. ASR and NLU technologies are used in Amazon Lex V2 to produce a Speech-Language Understanding (SLU) system. Amazon Lex V2 uses SLU to receive natural language speech and text input, interpret the intent, and fulfil the user's intent by activating the right business function. Speech recognition and natural language comprehension are among the most difficult issues in computer science to tackle, necessitating the use of sophisticated deep learning algorithms trained on enormous quantities of data and infrastructure. Deep learning technologies are now available to all developers thanks to Amazon Lex V2. Amazon Lex V2 bots transform incoming voice to text and comprehend the user's intent to provide an intelligent response, allowing users to focus on adding value to their customers' bots and defining their brand thus democratising deep learning technologies. Users can develop, test, and deploy their bots straight from the Amazon Lex V2 interface using Amazon Lex V2. Users may publish their speech or text bots on mobile devices, online apps, and chat services using Amazon Lex V2 (for example, Facebook Messenger). The Amazon Lex V2 scales itself. To fuel their bot experience, users won't have to worry about supplying hardware or maintaining infrastructure and thus it seamlessly deploys and scale.

System Requirements

  • Any Operating System(Mac, Windows, Linux)

This recipe explains Amazon Lex and the Use cases of Amazon Lex.

Use cases of Amazon Lex

    • It builds virtual agents and voice assistants

The Amazon Lex provides self-service possibilities (IVR) with virtual contact centre agents and interactive voice response. Users may reset their passwords or make an appointment without having to speak to a live person.

    • It improves the productivity with application bots

Using smart chatbots, Users can automate fundamental user actions in their app. AWS Lambda makes it easy to connect to other corporate applications while IAM provides granular access management.

    • It automates the informational responses

The Amazon Lex constructs conversational answers that answer frequently requested questions. Improve the Connect & Lex conversation flows for tech support, HR benefits, or banking using Amazon Kendra's natural language search.

    • It makes the most of the information included in transcripts.

The Amazon Lex creates chatbots using current call centre transcripts. Reduce the time it takes to build a bot from weeks to hours.
