How to Setup

• Run npm install

How to change the flow

The intent entity is needed for intent classification. So your Wit app needs to have it set up.

The different questions asked are implemented inside the ./intent.js file. You can change the various intents handled, the fields needed to perform the query and how to ask for them there by editing the actions array.

Context is handled globally inside the ./app.js file.

All the various intents need to have this structure:

{
  intent: '<intent_name>',
  needs: [
    { name: '<entity_name1>', text: '<question1>'},
    { name: '<entity_name2>', text: '<question2>'}
  ]
}

One word about context:

The context object is used for storing the current state of the conversation. The context is flushed after all the questions regarding a specific intent are asked.

It follows this format:

{
  next: { name: '<entity_name>', text: '<question>'},

  <entity_name1>: 'entity_value1',
  <entity_name2>: 'entity_value2',
  ...
  ...
  ...
}

The parameter: next stores the next question that is selected to be asked by the bot.

Todo/Known Bugs

• You can only add an intent, not a new entity when training.
• There is a weird bug with wit/phone-number training.
