Building an Ecommerce Chatbot with React Native and Dialogflow

Integrating AI chatbots into eCommerce sites can enhance customer interaction by providing a conversational experience without human intervention. This tutorial guides users through creating an eCommerce chatbot for a yoyo store using React Native and Dialogflow, requiring basic knowledge of React Native and Node.js. It details the setup process, including creating a Dialogflow agent and intents, designing the chat interface with GiftedChat, and implementing a Node.js server for fulfilling user requests. Dialogflow uses concepts like agents, intents, entities, and contexts to manage dialogues, and requires a Google account for setup. The bot, once configured, can respond to user inquiries about product details, leveraging a fulfillment server to access product data stored in a JSON file. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using specific package versions to avoid compatibility issues and provides a GitHub repository with the complete app code for reference.
