Due to issues, we have decided to make this component optional. We shall make an announcement explaining things further and you will see updates on this page but connecting your entire pipeline will now count as an extension. If you decide to keep your intent and slot classifier and Marbel+Dialogflow agent separate that is totally okay and will not negatively impact your grade. However, it is an “easier” extension to do and will count towards extensions quite heavily.
Therefore you can do your exclusion features and extensions in Dialogflow if you would like. To see more information go to the Excluding Features section and its subpages Dialogflow - Excluding Features .
