  My Wit App for Facebook AI Hackathon

Inspiration

A few months earlier, when I was sitting with my grandparents, I felt an absence of some mental support as everyone in my home is busy in there work like office and all. This situation reminded me to make a chatting device which tries to talk with them about how they are feeling and other new talks like how its to be in an amusement park, what's going in France currently etc.

What it does

It just talks Continuously like a human, and it is not designed for narrow-minded tasks (ex, Siri). It's innovative in his talks, and there is no wake word every time to speak.

How I built it

I built it using the API of Wit.ai where I created various utterances in the App page, and used the API in Python to call them.

Challenges I ran into

One of the challenges which I faced was adding the continuous utterances so that the bot remains fluent and doesn't stops.

What I learned

Honestly, it was my first experience with Wit, so I learned various new things in which the usage of Wit API is the main.

What's next for Engage the You!

I am trying to add various examples for my bot to become proficient and make lives of old people better.
