Inspiration

Inspired by an internal project request combined with the joy of putting Google Assistant at work.

What it does

It can answer various questions about Zitec. You can discover facts about Zitec. You can find nearby places to eat. You can find out how to escape from the forest or even ask for jokes about Florica.

How we built it

We used Dialogflow for natural language processing (NLP). This API gives us the certainty that all the requests to our nodejs server are well structured and correctly parameterized.

After the request is sent to our server we can use the variables identified by Dialogflow to send back a proper response. Some simple questions don't need backend processing and can be handled directly by Dialogflow.

Challenges we ran into

We didn't know how to user Dialogflow and to configure the NLP. Also, the integrations were tricky and hard to make them work.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A fully functional chat bot both on Workplace messenger and Google Home (Google Assistant)

What we learned

We learned to create a chatbot and to how to use NLP tools. We also learned how to have fun while adding jokes about Florica to the chabot :))

What's next for ZiBot

To learn more topics so it can answer to all the needed questions.
