Experts

Experts are software implementations that can analyze user input and contextual information. Experts can communicate with other experts. When the skill/behavior implemented within an expert is activated (usually when the user input is relevant to the skill), the expert produces a response.

As mentioned above, there can be multiple experts serving each application (i.e. a simulation). Occasionally the experts can collide i.e. generate a response to the same input. These collisions are typically identified during development/testing and resolved. that are able to respond to all user input. Deployed experts have been tested with a host of experts and are known to not collide with any others. Standalone experts have only been tested in their own environments and have not been tested with others. Further testing and development is needed before allowing Standalone Experts to be deployed in full projects but we are aiming to support them in future builds.
