witty-weather

This is a simple example of a weather Bot built using Wit.ai.

How to use:

  npm install
  npm start

How it works

The architecture can be split into 3 separate pieces:

• The Chat Front-end, which receives user messages and displays bot responses
• The Node Server, which receives/sends user Messages, asks Wit what to do next, and also executes Middle-man actions (like fetching weather on http://openweathermap.org/)
• The Wit App, which tells the node server what to do next based on Stories. For your convenience, we have pre-configured the Wit App with weather dialogs.

Build your own bot

Use witty weather as a template to build your own bot. It has 3 main parts you can adapt:

• WebApp.js you can plug the chat front-end on your server, or replace it with any Messenger app
• createEngine.js you can host the node code on your own server, and update the actions
• you can create your own Wit.ai app, either from sratch or bootstrap it with this file and add more turns
