The Bot Dialog Builder (BDB)
The Bot Dialog Builder (BDB) is a web-based user interface that offers content managers a code-free way to configure, train, and deploy the Unblu Conversational Bot (UCB).
Accessing the BDB
To access the BDB, log in to the Unblu Agent Desk. Once you’ve logged in, open the settings menu and click Conversational Bot settings.
The Conversational Bot settings menu item is available to users with the ADMIN or SUPERADMIN role, provided com.unblu.ui.usermenu.showManageConversationalBot is true. |
The BDB opens on the Intents tab, displaying intents in the state productive in at least one language.
The BDB has seven tabs:
-
The Intents tab is where content managers create intents and all the elements related to them, such as training phrases, bot answers, or custom actions. For more information, refer to Creating simple intents and Adding advanced features to intents.

-
The Delivery tab is where you prepare, evaluate, and deploy prediction models.

The Transcript tab gives you access to transcripts of conversations the UCB participated in. These are a valuable source for potential intents that you haven’t identified yet. It’s also a useful way to monitor how the UCB performs in real-life conversations.
By default, the Transcript tab only displays transcripts of the current day. To change the search criteria, click the Search bar at the top of tab.
-
The Training tab shows utterances the UCB couldn’t understand. It provides an easy way to add utterances to an intent as a training phrase and thus improve the UCB’s performance.

The Tags tab is for managing tags. Tags can be used to group and label intents.

The Knowledge tab is where you manage the knowledge bot. You can add resources that contain the information you want to generate answers from, create a persona for the bot, and create a database that the knowledge bot can base its answers on using the resources you’ve added.

Domains
To the left of the list of tabs in the Bot Dialog Builder, you can select the domain you want to work on. There are three domains:
- Financial
-
The Financial domain is for all intents relating to your organization’s products and services. It’s where you’ll probably create the vast majority of your intents.
- Social
-
The Social domain is for intents related to basic social interactions, such as greetings or goodbyes.
- Meta-model
-
Intents in the Meta-model domain are mainly for handling cases unrelated to what a participant posts, for example errors or handovers to an agent or another bot.
The following tabs only display content related to the selected domain:
-
Intents
-
Delivery
-
Tags
The other tabs aren’t affected by the domain you select.
