You learned how to create an account in the IBM Cloud in Chapter 1, Background, Transition, and the Future of Computing. We'll pick up from there by guiding you through the creation of an instance of the Watson Assistant service—referred to as a workspace—in which you will customize and train the service to your conversational context.
