Build chatbot with node js and react js

User Experience is given a lot of attention while building any application these days. More and more brands are leveraging chatbots to service their customers, market their brand, and even sell their products. 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.
