Lombok

The core elements of the ecommerce bot (the intents, training sentences and business logic to execute for every matched intent) are implemented with our Java Fluent API that wraps a set of EMF-based core classes modeling our chatbot specification primitives and the help of Lombok to simplify the writing of the bot specification.

NLP.js

To determine which chatbot intent is the best match for the user textual input, we rely on nlp.js (in JS) though we are in the process of moving to our new Python NLP server for better optimization of the needs of eCommerce conversations. A preprocessor language model is also used to improve the chances of a matching.
