Abstract

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have become a powerful approach to the development of complex AI systems. However, the community faces the challenge of developing communication interfaces between software agents and humans, for instance, using natural language. In this paper, we demonstrate an approach to the integration of MAS and chatbot technologies named Dial4JaCa. Dial4JaCa enables the implementation of MAS integrated with chatbots, which can be applied to a variety of domains. In this particular work, we demonstrate how it is possible to integrate a JaCaMo application (agent system) with Dialogflow (a chatbot platform) using Dial4JaCa.
