This is exactly what I've been looking for! Right now, LUIS and Wit.ai mostly require you to route your entire chat stream through them, making it difficult to do hybrid approaches where you can clean up chat structure via pattern matching and then try and decipher using NLP. An alternative approach is to use Stanford's CoreNLP for this, but the sheer size of it makes it impractical for some cloud deployments like Heroku so a REST API is nicer. I'm curious to see how their NER compares to the Stanford one--the auto-retrieval of wikipedia URLs is a nice touch.
