Dialogflow Overview
Updated
by Susan Swier

Dialogflow, formerly known as Api.ai, is a natural language understanding platform that makes it easy to design and integrate a conversational user interface into your mobile app, web application, device, bot, interactive voice response system, and so on. Using Dialogflow, you can provide new and engaging ways for users to interact with your product.

With Dialogflow integrated with the respond.io platform, you can:
- Develop powerful conversational functionalities
- Deliver messages on the requests of users
- Store profile-specific information
- Retain contextual awareness
Dialogflow Editions
Dialogflow offers two main types of agents: Dialogflow CX and Dialogflow ES.
- Dialogflow CX is designed specifically for large-scale and complex conversational systems suitable for enterprises.
- Dialogflow ES is a simpler edition that is well-suited for small to medium-sized businesses and organizations that are just starting out with chatbots and conversational systems.

FAQ and Troubleshooting
Why am I getting "The key could not be validated. Invalid key provided" error?
This error occurs because the API key generated from a non-global server is not supported by respond.io. Currently, respond.io only supports global Dialogflow agents. You may upvote the feature request to include non-global/regional agents here.
