How it works

The chat bot program is built on top of the Botkit slack bot program.

skills/main.js is the main controller file that listens to the messages sent by the user to the chatbot. Upon receiving a message, it sends the text to the Watson Conversation (connected on starting of the program) and expect an intent. If zero intent is sent back or the intent has too low a confidence score, the bot will prompt the user with a selection of options and train the Watson Conversation with the new example the user has previously provided.

Other files in the skills/ folder are functions that will be called accordingly if a certain intent is triggered from either a message sent by the user or the client program as a step of a customized workflow. The logic in these files are similar: it sends a request to the client program and then respond to the user with a message, which is the main interactive part of the project.
