Unless you’re a data science organization (in which case, it’s just ML), or you just want to make a super-simple “who’s on first” lookup chat bot, forget it. Nothing. Works.
It works fine for 90% of your use cases…the exotic stuff will need real engineers though, the script kiddies aren’t powering through some of those problems.
