## 🤖 About Amazon Lex
Amazon Lex is the engine that powers BankerBOT. It’s a cloud-based AI service that makes it incredibly easy to build chatbots. With its built-in speech recognition and natural language processing, I was able to focus on crafting the best user experience instead of wrestling with complex AI models.
## ⚙️ Project Setup

### Step 1: Creating the Chatbot
Getting BankerBOT up and running took just 3 minutes. The interface is intuitive, making it simple to create a functional chatbot without breaking a sweat.
### Step 2: Assigning Permissions
Security is key, so I created a role with basic permissions to ensure the bot has just enough access to function—nothing more, nothing less.
### Step 3: Setting Confidence Threshold
I stuck with the default confidence threshold of 0.40, which helps the bot balance between accurate responses and reducing false positives. This ensures smoother interactions and fewer frustrating moments for users.
