How to Install Template Bots

This section of the documentation will discuss a scenario where a user wants to install a template bot into their Kore.ai platform account instead of building it from scratch. These template bots serve as ready-to-use bots that enable you as a bot developer to explore the bot’s capabilities and install them into their accounts. This document explains the installation of a Restaurant bot.
