• Natural language understanding
• Predefined and custom intents
• Entity recognition
• Context management
• Multi-turn conversations

• IBM Watson Assistant
• Node.js (for deployment)
• Cloud services (e.g., IBM Cloud)

1. IBM Watson Assistant Setup:

   • Create an IBM Cloud account.
   • Set up an IBM Watson Assistant service instance.
   • Create a workspace and configure intents, entities, and dialog nodes.

2. Local Environment Setup:

   • Install Node.js and npm.
   • Clone this repository.
