How do I integrate wit.ai and hubot?

Question

I want to integrate wit.ai with hubot. Besides that I have hubot running on a discourse forum server via an adapter. That is secondary.

I installed https://github.com/guillaumewuip/hubot-wit-helper, installed the npm package, but I get this error when I run bin/hubot

[wit] Stories and POST /converse have been deprecated. This will break in February 2018!

I put the server token in the wit_token = 'mywittoken' part of the example script found on the github page above, which starts like this

'use strict';

(() => {

    const witHelper = require('hubot-wit-helper');

    const WIT_TOKEN = 'myWitToken';

How do I get it all to work? Is it too old to use?

Wit.ai discontinued stories and /converse as of February 13, 2018 10am PST

The hubot-wit-helper npm package appears to still use stories through wit.runActions() [hubot-wit-helper/lib/Robot.js line 72] which will no longer work as of the discontinuation of Wit stories.

To get wit.ai working again in this package you need to follow the official guide on how to migrate the codebase from stories to the /message API.
