What is the project about?
This bot is capable of answer any message sent through discord using the '!' command to specify that this message is for the bot. This bot works using the Api.ai which is now known as DialogFlow.
The responses can be trained to any situation such as book a flight, query the weather and so many things. In addition, you can add custom responses for very special cases that you want to respond with a specific answer.
Uses case
This bot can be used to solve situations where human interaction is not needed. For instance:
- The bot can be configured to book flights
- The bot can be configured to get the weather without leaving the chat room
- The bot can be configured to query data from the internet such as definitions
- The bot can be configured to give information regarding a product and answer questions
- The bot can be configured to book appointments
Technology behind it
This bot is running thanks to NodeJs as well as the corresponding libraries for the services used in it.
Roadmap
In the future, more examples of the uses case will be added to the code to bring the user a quick start to use this project.
How to run it
Running this bot is very easy. To do so, just run the following command (supposing you are in the root of the project):
AUTH_TOKEN=<your-discord-token> API_AI=<your-api-ai-key> node main.js
And once you see the connected message in the logs, you can start using it right away.
