I'm starting with wit.ai, I'm trying to create a simple messenger bot, I have everything working on facebook but I'm struggling with a simple task how to make the bot reply a different phrase based on the response given by the user.

Example:

User: Hello Bot: Hi, Do you want to listen a joke?

User: Yes Bot: [Tell a Joke]

or

User: No Bot: Ok bye bye!

This seems to be very simple but I'm struggling with it. Some one can make an example how to make this?

Note: I know that there are a doc about this issue on wit.ai documentation, but even with that information I can't put this simple bot working.

The recipe can definitely be better...

You will find below how to train the yes/no entity

We are working on a simpler way to do that with branching and it will come soon. Follow your roadmap here: https://github.com/wit-ai/wit

    Here is a concrete public example you can look at: https://wit.ai/l5t/BotEngine_YesNo_Example/stories – l5t Jun 01 '16 at 19:47
  • Thanks. I think you should create an official slack channel for wit.ai. And maybe create a real live example of a facebook bot (is trending at the moment), a simple thing without use external apis only hardcoded functions. And do a video tutorial explaining the process. Most of the times the problems appear when we use multiple stories and multiple entities. – Fábio Ferreira Jun 02 '16 at 17:11
  • @FábioFerreira did you end up creating a wit.ai slack channel? would like to be a part of the conversation :D – hoodsy Jan 30 '17 at 13:49
