After you have configured your workspace and built a working dialog, you can deploy your application by connecting the workspace to the interface your customers will use. You can also connect your workspace to other services (including other {{site.data.keyword.watson}} services).
This version of the {{site.data.keyword.conversationshort}} documentation is deprecated. Go here instead. {: deprecated}
There are various ways you can do this.
-
Deploying to a channel with the {{site.data.keyword.conversationshort}} connector: You can use the {{site.data.keyword.conversationshort}} connector to deploy a chat bot to Slack or Facebook Messenger, using your workspace and your own Slack or Facebook app.
-
Building a client application: You can use the {{site.data.keyword.watson}} SDK for the language of your choice to develop your own application front end. Your application can then use the {{site.data.keyword.conversationshort}} APIs to communicate with the service, while also integrating with third-party services and your own business systems.
-
Building a bot with Botkit: You can use the Botkit framework to integrate your workspace with social media and messaging channels.
