Serverless chatbot on AWS/Azure
Why Choose This Project?
Chatbots are now essential for customer support, education, and automation. Using serverless architecture, you can build a scalable, cost-efficient chatbot without managing servers. This project leverages cloud-native AI/NLP services from AWS or Azure, making it an excellent hands-on experience in serverless computing, AI, and cloud integration.

Working Flow
-
User Interaction → User types or speaks into chatbot (web, mobile, Teams, or Slack).
-
NLP Processing → Query sent to AWS Lex / Azure LUIS to extract intent & entities.
-
Serverless Function Call → AWS Lambda / Azure Function executes logic (e.g., fetch info, call API, store chat).
-
Database & API Integration → Bot queries DynamoDB/Cosmos DB or calls external APIs.
-
Response Generation → NLP service formulates a natural response.
-
Reply to User → Response displayed in chat UI or voice reply given.
-
Logging & Analytics → Conversation stored in DB, dashboards for performance insights.
