How AI is used
Microsoft Luis (Language Understanding) is an Azure AI service designed to help applications interpret what a user wants when they use their own words. It uses machine learning to analyze natural language input and extract meaning based on specific intents and entities defined by the developer.
The tool is built for software companies and developers creating conversational applications. It provides a framework for designing, training, and testing how an application responds to various user utterances.
Developers can use the service to create a model, train it, and then use an endpoint to get predictions on new inputs. This supports the development of apps that can interact with users in a natural way.
Buyers should note that Microsoft has indicated some content for this service is no longer being updated regularly, so it is important to check the current product lifecycle and support status before integrating it into a new project.
