The era of apps is over. Anno 2019 we want a true conversation with our services. Google assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri have come a long way, and are fundamentally changing the way we interface with IT services.

Why search for an answer on a website if I can just ask a chatbot. Why would I grab my phone to order a pizza if I can ask it to Google home?

Today it is already possible to easily integrate mainstream services like Spotify, Netflix, Bol.com, … but what about our own backend services?

In this internship you’ll build a conversational chat interface which enables customers to ask questions about our product offering, enable them register for events or redirect the conversation seamlessly with a real person. The user needs to be able to communicate via Amazon Alexa (Voice) and Facebook messenger chat.
