Eclipse Bot

Inspiration

In this covid situation we all are stuck in our houses , cannot go out to our favourite cafe to have coffee and chill out with friends and we all always need our all time favourite coffee with some snacks so we thought to create a bot .

What it does

we have created a user friendly bot when user comes to the page the bot asked for the order that he would like to give and it saves the order. If the user chooses the deliver option then the order gets delivered to the user and if he chooses pickup option then then the user must go to pickup the order.

How we built it

To create our bot we have used Dialogflow . When the user comes to the page a welcome message pops up with an image and then it asked the user what drink he would like to have with the use of Quick Replies further it asks the user the size and type of drink he would like to order , then the bot asks if he likes to confirm the order again with the use of quick replies . Further the bot asks if the user would like to have some snacks with the drink then again user have to choose one option from the quick replies and then bot confirm the order , asked if he would like to pick the order and wants delivery. To make it more interesting we have also used cards in the delivery and pickup option in that card we have put the link of the gifts that the user will get from the cafe side.

Challenges we ran into

since me and my all team mates are full stack developer , we were new to this Chatbot world so we have to work hard and learn this new tech How to create chatbots and then we came across Dialogflow and learned it to build our bot. There is a saying that Hardwork pays off and our hardwork has also paves way to the successful completion of our bot.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Yes we are proud of to our team that in such a less time we have created a nice bot. we would also like to thank Facebook that through this contest we have came together and did well.

What we learned

Learning is the greatest thing that we have done through this hackathon .we are really very greatful to Facebook for giving us this opportunity, We have learned how to work in a team, what leadership skill is , got to know how to create chatbot using dialogflow , learned about different features such as Handover Protocol, One-Time Notifications, Private Replies, Quick Replies and the Extension SDK.

What's next for Eclipse Bot

we will upgrade our Eclipse Bot and create a database with the help of Node.js so that it can fetch and retrieve the data according to user need. We were also planning to use NLP in our bot to make it more fruitful.Further we will host our bot on heroku.
