Bot Maker
NVIDIA Bot Maker is an SDK that enables you to build conversational AI applications such as chatbots, multimodal virtual assistants, and interactive avatars.
Apply for Early Access
NVIDIA platforms and application frameworks enable developers to build a wide array of AI applications. Consider potential algorithmic bias when choosing or creating the models being deployed. Also, work with the model’s developer to ensure that it meets the requirements for the relevant industry and use case; that the necessary instruction and documentation are provided to understand error rates, confidence intervals, and results; and that the model is being used under the conditions and in the manner intended.
