Making a Chat Bot with wit.ai
I’m currently building a chat bot with wit.ai as an additional way to search for courses. As part of this I need to learn how to build one.
There are a number of api’s / frameworks available to build chat bots. I am currently using wit.ai

Steps
I followed the Getting Started Guide to create my app : https://wit.ai/getting-started
I then went through the documentation to get a rough idea of how to setup and train my app : https://wit.ai/docs/quickstart
I setup my entities and trained it to certain sentences. (read the quick start documentation to understand how this works)
Finally in the settings tab I have a curl script I can use to test the app in terminal which return:
{
"_text" : "Do you have any courses in art?",
"entities" : {
"course_type" : [
{
"confidence" : 0.9968739640596,
"value" : "Art",
"type" : "value"
}],
"sentiment" : [
{
"confidence" : 0.87585085150416,
"value" : "neutral"
}],
"intent" : [
{
"confidence" : 0.99992613113395,
"value":"course"
}]
},
"msg_id" : "14PsrGfV9LIEz4neL"
}Next I need to work out how to integrate this into a website.
