Automating PDF Flowchart to creation of chatbot

So we currently are creating chatbots using Google DialogFlow. The chatbots that we create are usually decision tree type chatbots that ask a particular question based on the response provided by the user. The client usually sends us flowcharts in pdf which has the decision tree and we then translate it towards creating the said chatbot and adding the relevant modules based on the information provided. Is there a way wherein I can automate some part of the chatbot creation process directly based on the decision tree sent in the PDF? The frequent updates sent by the client is a bit cumbersome so was thinking of automating it.

What I'm thinking currently is somehow converting the PDF file to some JSON format and then using that JSON file, somehow automate the process. I'm a new joiner in the company and they have given me this task to think about.

It’s possible to automate the creation process of your Dialogflow agent, however, you’ll have to create your own implementation for it. As you’ve mentioned, you can convert the PDF file into a JSON object using your own implementation, then you can use the JSON object as a reference to construct the Request Body of the methods stated below.

If you are using Dialogflow ES, then you can use one of Dialogflow ES’s Client libraries or APIs (REST API / RPC API) to create agents programmatically.

You can create ES Agents with the following methods:

After you create an ES agent, you can also add Intents, Entity Types, Contexts, etc. programmatically to manage your agent’s conversation flows.

If you are using Dialogflow CX, then you can use one of Dialogflow CX’s Client libraries or APIs (REST API / RPC API) to create agents programmatically.

You can create CX Agents with the following methods:

After you create a CX agent, you can also add Intents, Entity Types, Flows, Webhooks etc. programmatically to manage your agent’s conversation flows.

Additionally, note that your JSON Request Body must be formatted correctly based on the Resource that you’re trying to create. For example:

  • If you’re trying to create an ES Agent, make sure to follow the Request Body format.
  • If you’re trying to create a CX Agent, make sure to follow the Request Body format.
