There are a lot of awesome tools out there which helps in building an intelligent bot very easily like Google’s DialogFlow, Amazon Lex, etc, most of which implement their own Natural Language Processing (NLP) logic.

Whenever we have a small application having a limited set of options to choose from, it’s not really necessary to use NLP based tools like Google’s DialogFlow.
