Skill Store

Digital Assistant's Skill Store offers a range of pre-packaged skills and digital assistants. Some of these are samples and others are designed to work with and expose other Oracle Cloud services.

Access the Skill Store

To get a skill or digital assistant from the Digital Assistant Skill Store:

  1. Click icon to open the side menu to open the side menu and select Development > Store.

  2. In the tile for the skill that you want to add, click icon to open the Options menu and select Pull.

Once you pull a skill or digital assistant from the Skill Store, you can:

  • Use it as is.
  • Extend it, which enables you to customize it in several ways. Then, if a new version of that skill or digital assistant becomes available in the Skill Store, you can rebase your customizations to the new version.
  • Clone it, which enables you to make any modifications that you want. However, when you clone a skill or digital assistant that you have pulled from the Skill Store, you can't later rebase to new versions.
Note

By default, only one version of each skill is displayed (the version that was most recently updated). To view all versions of a particular skill, click Show all versions of this skill icon.
