CarBuyingAssistant

Inspiration

As an analyst in the auto industry, I find that there are a lot of questions people ask every day and it will be cool if these questions can be answered automatically by a robot; Amazon lex makes building a robot pretty easy;

What it does

Answer common questions about cars, and order one for you if you know which make and model you'd like to buy;

How I built it

I build it using Amazon lex, and Amazon lambda function using node.js and some other web scraping technique;

Challenges I ran into

One little problem I found is that it seems the amazon lex seems not being able to capture a phrase more than two words as a slot(maybe I am wrong? I am new to this as well);

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It can answer common questions about price and mpg pretty nicely by looking into the official manufacturer's websites

What I learned

Learn how to build a chat bot using amazon lex and getting more professional with AWS and node.js
