Abstract
A method comprising: receiving an interactive voice response (IVR) tree configured to implement one or more tasks, each associated with one or more IVR node paths comprising a plurality of IVR nodes arranged in a hierarchical relationship; analyzing the IVR tree to identify one or more intent IVR nodes, each associated with one of the tasks; with respect to each of the intent IVR nodes, identifying a plurality of corresponding entity IVR nodes included within the IVR node path associated with the intent IVR node; assembling one or more task-specific chatbot skills, each comprising (i) one of the intent IVR nodes, and (ii) at least some of the plurality of corresponding entity IVR nodes, wherein each of the task-specific chatbot skills is configured to perform one of the tasks by conducting a dialog with a user; and generating a chatbot comprising at least one of the task-specific chatbot skills.
