Dialogflow is a gateway to accessing data. Typically this is programmable through a series of intents and backend services to respond. Newer features within Dialogflow upend this long-standing programming and allow direct integration of data sources into the chatbot! This completely bypasses the traditional intent + fulfillment model and allows the rapid development of a complex information service function.
In this lab, you will integrate an online FAQ to provide a high-quality information service to your end-users. You will then learn to use built-in analytics and reporting to see what are the most commonly asked questions and answers.
If you are new to Dialogflow you should first check out the lab Creating your first Dialogflow Bot.
