An Open Answer Question node allows your user to enter a free text answer, instead of clicking on the pre-designed answer nodes.
An NLU Open Answer Question node is an Open Answer Question integrated with AI. With the AI Integration, the free text answer provided by your user is analyzed through Natural Language Understanding that is supported by the main Cognitive Service providers such as Microsoft LUIS and IBM Watson.
