Setting up WIT.AI

“

- [Instructor] In this video, we will set up Wit.ai and create a so-called app that will later serve as NLP Backend for reservation. For that, I already opened the front page and there I have to first create an account. You can either use an existing GitHub or Facebook account to do this. I'm logging in via GitHub because I already have an account. When signing up, Wit will already create an app for you, it's called MyFirstApp, but we are here to build something real, so I click on the plus sign on to top right, and there I create a new app and I call it ReservationApp. We can leave all other settings as they are, and in the end I will simply click on Create App. And, there we are already on our training interface. This interface contains a text field to enter training phrases, and it contains a section with entities. These are more or less variables that will be filled with the information extracted from what users say. We also see that there is already an entity called intent. We will come to that later. We now have a completely untrained Wit app. In the next video, we will dive into training the model to understand what our users are saying.
