The commentators are quick to rightfully remind us that none of these events are isolated, but rather are symptomatic of what our world has become. A world we have created.
This post continues the journey as we try to answer these questions: Is there some way to “pass through” the conversation from Connect to another NLU solution like Rasa? And Is there really no way to automate deployments of our flow logic?
