                        Apache NLPCraft&reg; is an open source library for adding natural language Interface
                        to modern applications. It enables people to interact with your products using voice
                        or text.

                    <p>
                        Define the intents to interpret
                        user input using any JVM-based language like Java, Scala, Groovy or Kotlin. Use REST API to
                        integrate with your products.

                        Natural Language Interface enables users to interact with any type of products
                        using natural language augmenting existing UI/UX with fidelity
                        and simplicity of a familiar spoken language.

                    <p>
                        Natural Language has no learning curve, no special rules or UI to master, no cumbersome syntax or terms to remember -
                        it's just a natural interface that your users already know.

                    Apache NLPCraft is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF),
                    sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a
                    further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have
                    stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
                </p>
                <p>
                    While incubation status is not
                    necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the
                    project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
