I am trying to create a chatbot application where user can create their own bot like Botengine. After going through google I saw I need some NLP api to process user's query. As per wit.ai basic example I can set and get data. Now I am confused, How I am going to create a botengine?

So as far I understand the flow, Here is an example for pizza delivery:-

  1. User will enter a welcome message i.e - Hi, Hello ...

  2. Welcome reply will be saved by bot owner in my database.

  3. User will enter some query, then I will hit wit.ai API to process that query. Example :- Users query is "What kind of pizza's available in your store" and wit.ai will respond with the details of intent "pizza_type"
  4. Then I will search for the intent return by wit in my database.

So, is that the right flow to create a chatbot? Am I in the right direction? Could anyone give me some link or some example so I can go through it. I want to create this application using nodejs. I have also found some example in node-wit, but can't find how I will implement this.

Thanks

  • Your question is very generic. Maybe consider adding smaller separate questions instead of this, or describe the specifications of your chatbot more thoroughly. Some things to consider are: 1) Will your chatbot run on some platform? (eg: Facebook, WeChat, Viber etc) 2) Maybe you should first create a static chatbot and then move on to a dynamic one (create firstly a Chatbot that does one thing and then create a full-fledged "BotEngine") You can also check the getting started part of Messenger's Platform's documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/ – Christos Panagiotakopoulos Aug 23 '18 at 14:44
  • Yes my question should be for a module not the whole thing. Basically I want to create a chatbot for my own site. I need a basic concept how would I get user data and return the answer. – Bikash Mondal Aug 24 '18 at 07:14
  • Then restate your question – Christos Panagiotakopoulos Aug 24 '18 at 07:15

What you need is webhook. You need to call different API's based on the user intent. I believe you can distinguish between different intents using parameters available in request. Check this out - Creating nodejs webhook for dialogflow

  • Thanks's for the answer. As I have stated the flow, you have done like that. But can you tell me how I can reply with user details. Like - User has provided their name and bot will reply with the name like "Hi {{name}}"? – Bikash Mondal Aug 07 '18 at 05:23
