Covid19-bot

This is a chat when user text to the Covid-19 bot to get the information of covif-19 virus in some country

Inspiration

Because the epidemic caused by the covid-19 virus is spreading around the world, we want to build a chatbot with the function of helping users get the latest information about the disease situation.

What it does

This bot will show the lastest information about covid-19 disease in specific country that user typed

How I built it

I use nodejs to building server listening request from facebook app. I use wit.ai to extract information from user via wit.ai's natural language processing. I use glitch to deploy my nodejs app.

Challenges I ran into

I had some problems when try to understand the flow from user typing message to page then bot return to user that info.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am very happy that I've built a AI bot that help people can get the lastest information of corona virus easily just by text to page.

What I learned

I learned how to build a facebook messenger chatbot and intergrating that bot with a small AI

What's next for Covid19-bot

I intend to integrate more training data into the bot using wit.ai for Natural Language Processing. I hope my bot are more and more smarter and understand user.
