How to configure LUIS as an Artificial Intelligence provider

To enable the integration between Blip and the LUIS service — provider of NLP (Natural Language Processing) from Microsoft, some simple configurations are necessary.

Before you start, make sure you have already created your LUIS account through luis.ai.

1. Access the Blip Portal, choose your bot.
2. Access the Artificial Intelligence area, and select LUIS.

3. On Luis's website click on his profile photo and go to the settings screen.

4. Copy the Primary key, within Authoring resources.

Free use

For the free use of the bot paste the Primary Key copied in the previous step in the Primary Key field and also in the Cognitive Service Resource Key field, in Blip. Click save and the bot is ready for free use.

Paid usage

It is necessary to activate the application using the Primary Key copied in the previous step in the Primary Key field and also in the Cognitive Service Resource Key field, in Blip.

Click save and train the model in the Blip Publication tab. This will create an application within LUIS.

To create your paid key, go to portal.azure.com and login.

Click Create a Resource and search for Cognitive Services and create a resource of that type.

Fill the slots according to your infrastructure.

After creating your cognitive service, go back to the luis.ai website and access the application created by Blip, referring to the bot you are configuring.

Within the Management tab, go to the Keys and Endpoints screen and click on the Assign Resource button.

In the screen that will open, fill in the options in the same way you did when you created your Cognitive Service in Azure and select it in the LUIS resource name field.

Then copy the Key 1 for the resource you just added and paste that key in the Cognitive Service Resource Key field in the configuration screen of the LUIS provider in Blip.

There, your NLP provider is already set up!
