Thank you all for inviting me and giving me this great opportunity !

It was a great experience to be with 30+ engineering students, who had come from 3 different engineering students in and around Hubli-Dharwad, mainly SDM, BVB, VDRIT and PC Jabin. The participants were trained on BOT building using open-source, on-premise Chatbot building platform botpress and participants made a simple BOT which echoes the user message. Later, participants were trained on building a web-based chatbot which reads/writes data from Google Spreadsheet using Google Drive APIs and JavaScript.



Then participants were demonstrated  with some other chatbots which i have developed and later the participants went on to build a simple Appointment scheduling chatbot.



The participants were also given with some other problem statements and would be working on it next 2 weeks and based on the their submission, the winner would be announced.
