Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for automatically seeding an API into a natural language conversational interface are described herein. An API is automatically seeded into a natural language conversational interface by mapping a set of API calls to a set of intents, mapping the set of intents to a collection of example utterances, and using the collection of example utterances as input training data to train a natural language classifier. The trained classifier may then be used to determine an intent associated with a received query such that an action associated with the determined intent can then be performed.
