Inspiration

The inspiration to make a fun little bot and combine it with my favorite hobby "cooking"! and the need to talk. Sometimes a lot is going on with some people and they don't have anyone to talk. I hope to make a small step towards that bigger goal by starting here.

What it does

A facebook messenger bot that uses quick reply to present user with a few cuisine options. When a user clicks on an option link to Yummly website is displayed in chat with a funny gif and the option appended as query string.

How I built it

I made it using javascript and bootbot javascript framework. I deployed it using ngrok.

Challenges I ran into

Once got into a error while fetching external API. Then i researched and found that I have to use fetch for that purpose and it solved the error.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Learning how to make bot, deploy on a facebook page.

What I learned

Working with javascript, heroku, mongo db, pyhton, rasa for AI

What's next for Happy Bot

Integrating AI and machine learning. Implementing handover protocol. As the inspiration behind this bot to make it a tool so that it can fight depression and help people who are suffering.
