LUIS Samples

Welcome to the Language Understanding (LUIS) samples repository. LUIS allows your application to understand what a person wants in their own words. LUIS uses machine learning to allow developers to build applications that can receive user input in natural language and extract meaning from it.

Create your Azure LUIS service

Use the Deploy to Azure button to quickly create an Azure LUIS service. You get one free LUIS service per account. The free service has a sku of F0. The basic tier has a sku of S0.
