To get the most out of this book

To get the most out of this book, I suggest trying to gain experience with as many conversational applications as you can. Try and experiment with chatbots on various websites and on Facebook Messenger. If you have access to an Alexa device or Google Home, try to use some of the trending skills and analyze their shortfalls and successes. If you don't have either of those devices, use the Google Assistant on your mobile phone (you can download it on iPhone as well).
