Building & Testing an Azure LLM Chatbot for Live Train Information

Hosted by Audacia

Building, testing, and deploying a WhatsApp travel chatbot for live train information across 2,500 stations.

Audacia partnered with Northern to deliver an AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot using natural language processing that can respond to customer requests with live train data and taxi information, with messages such as:

“When is the next train from Leeds to Manchester?”

Join us for a panel discussion to talk about how Audacia and Northern used a tailored agile project delivery approach to manage the development, testing and deployment of the natural language processing chatbot, built using Azure Cognitive Services.

We’ll cover all aspects of the project from design, through to development and QA testing, and into delivery, covering specific topics such as:

  1. What is natural language processing and what are language models?
  2. How do you decide between cloud services and bespoke language model solutions?
  3. What skills and experience do you need to deliver a language-based project?
  4. How do you estimate and plan for such projects?
  5. What are the changes required in testing, both manual and automated, for complex language model systems?

Panel:

Keith White, Head of Digital Experience, Northern

Dale Palmer, Agile Delivery Manager, Northern

Thomas Leite, Head of Delivery, Audacia

Rachel Flynn, Senior Software Engineer, Audacia

Emily O’Connor, Senior Test Engineer, Audacia

Philip White, Managing Director, Audacia

 

The discussion will be open to Q&A throughout.
