This section describes how you can configure your Digital Person to use a corpus implemented with IBM Watson Assistant (classic) via the Digital DNA Studio. Before doing this, you will need to build a Dialog Skill using the IBM Watson Assistant tool. The Digital Person Server connects to your IBM Watson Assistant Dialog Skill to provide conversational content and dynamic data during its interaction with your end-users.

Note: Our support is limited to IBM Watson Assistant's Dialog Skill.
