AI Studio adds conversational AI capabilities to AutomationEdge, a platform used for business and IT process automation. Through its text and speech-enabled chatbots, AI Studio lets you extend a self-service experience to employees and customers. AI Studio is a multi-tenant system that supports the creation of the following three types of projects.

• NLU (Natural Language Understanding) NLU project lets you build a machine learning model for some sample utterances used in a particular context or domain. Once the model is built, you can send user utterances to it to find out what the user is trying to say and to extract important pieces of information like city, color, time etc., commonly referred to as intent and entities respectively. For this preview release, you will be able to use Microsoft LUIS as the underlying NLU engine. Delta, our own NLU engine will be available in one of the upcoming releases.
• KM (Knowledge Management) KM project gives you ability to search in unstructured documents. You can simply add unstructured documents (excel, pdf, word files) to a KM project and search against these documents. KM engine not just returns the document matching the query but also an appropriate section in the matched document. For this preview release, you will be able to use Microsoft QnAMaker as the underlying engine.
• Cognibot A cognibot project lets you build a chatbot. Using its dialog designer, you can build and quickly test chatbots without having to write any code. It leverages NLU and KM projects in AI Studio for providing a natural language experience to the users and connects to AutomationEdge for fulfillment of user requests.

We support both On-premises and Cloud deployment from this release. This website explains all the features provided by AI Studio in detail along with steps and videos as required.
