Let's Get Chatty with Conversational Interface in JavaScript
summary
Shows working code that wires the browser Web Speech API (webkit SpeechRecognition plus speechSynthesis) to a Dialogflow backend and a Node.js socket server so voice → text → NLP → speech roundtrip actually runs in Chrome with flaky recognition. Demonstrates a Facebook Messenger bot powered by Dialogflow, Slack sentiment analysis using IBM Watson, and a Raspberry Pi LED that lights by detected emotion. Gives source links and notes browser support limitations and which APIs, SDKs, and platforms are used.
