Capabilities of Rasa X

• You can talk to your chatbot. While you are talking, a story and test story is being generated for you. You can also observe what intents have been recognized, with what accuracy, what is the current active_loop, which slot is being filled in etc. You can save the generated story. This is much more convenient than writing the story yourself.
• You can see and review past conversations.
• You can tag and filter past conversations.
• You can correct chatbot's decisions.
• You can edit all the files we have been working with so far.
• There's so much more Rasa X is capable of! I encourage you to launch the server and start discovering by yourself.

You can learn more about Rasa X in the documentation.
