SAP Conversational AI provides several SDKs, which are all open-source and hosted on GitHub.
Starting from January 2021, please note that we inform you that the SDKs will not be available anymore and the public repository of the project will be archived from GitHub.
Firstly, we noticed over the past year that these SDKs were not used much by our users.
This is because our platform usage has become easier, including the APIs.
Secondly, our APIs have undergone major changes. We would need to adapt the SDKs in order to keep them working, which will lead to a significant cost from our side.
Hence, we decided to sunset this open source version starting from January 2021.
Any changes in our API’s will not be reflected in our SDKs. Hence, the code might not work unless you adjust the same.
If you are interested in taking the ownership of the project on GitHub, please get in touch with us and we can discuss the process. Otherwise, if there are no objections from anyone, we would archive the project following the open source sunset process.
Please use the platform SAP Answers if you have any other questions related to this topic.
Happy bot building!
The SAP Conversational AI team
This module is an Android interface to the SAP Conversational AI API. It allows you to make requests to your bots.
Just update your build.gradle files:
In your module:
dependencies {
compile 'ai.sapcai.sdk_android:sdk-android:4.0.0'
}import ai.sapcai.sdk_android.Client;
Client client = new Client(YOUR_TOKEN);
Response resp;
try {
resp = client.textRequest(YOUR_TEXT);
} catch (SapcaiException e) {
// error
}This module contains 9 main classes as follows:
- Client is the client allowing you to make requests to SAP Conversational AI API.
- Response contains the response from SAP Conversational AI.
- Entity represents an entity found in you user's input as defined in SAP Conversational AI Manual
- Intent represents the intent of your user
- Action represents the actions of a conversation
- Memory represents the memory of a conversation
- MemoryEntity represents the entity inside the memory object
- Conversation allowing you to handle a conversation
- SapcaiException is the error thrown by the module.
The SAP Conversational AI Client can be instanciated with a token and provides the following methods:
- textRequest(String text)
- fileRequest(String filename)
These methods both return a Response object.
- textConverse(String text)
This method return a Conversation object.
- startRecording() Starts the audio recording to a file
- stopRecording() Stops the audio recording, sends the audio to SAP Conversational AI and returns a Response object
Note that all these methods should be called in separated tasks because they do http requests.
import ai.sapcai.sdk_android.Client;
Client client = new Client(YOUR_TOKEN);
Response resp;
try {
resp = client.textRequest("Hello World!");
// Do your code...
} catch (Exception e) {
// Handle error
}
try {
resp = client.fileRequest("my_file.wav");
// Do you code..
} catch (Exception e) {
// Handle error
}
try {
Conversation conversation = client.textConverse("Hello, my name is Paul");
} catch (Exception e) {
// Handle error
}The SAP Conversational AI Response is generated after a call with the Client methods and contains the following methods:
- getAct() Returns the act of the sentence
- getType() Returns the type of the sentence

- getEntity(String name) Returns the first entity matching -name- or null
- getEntities(String name) Returns an array of all entities matching -name- or null
- getStatus() Returns the status of the Response

resp = client.textRequest("Give me a recipe with Asparagus.");
String intent = resp.getIntent();
if (intent != null && intent.equals("recipe")) {
//get all the entities matching 'ingredient'
Entities[] entities = resp.getEntities("ingredient");
// ...
}The SAP Conversational AI Entity is returned by Response and provides the following methods:
- String getName() Returns the name of the entity
- String getRaw() Returns the raw text on which the entity was detected
- Object getField(String fieldName)
In addition to getName and getRaw, more attributes can be accessed by the getField method which can be one of the following:
- hex
- value
- deg
- formatted
- lng
- lat
- unit
- code
- person
- number
- gender
- next
- grain
- order
SAP Conversational AI entity fields types are dependant on the entity itself, so value returned must be casted depending on the entity you wait.
Refer to SAP Conversational AI Entities Manual for details about entities
Response resp = client.textRequest("What's the weather in San Francisco?");
if (resp.getIntent() != null && resp.getIntent().equals("weather")) {
Entity e = resp.getEntity("location");
if (e != null) {
System.out.printf("You asked me for a weather in %s\n", (String)e.getField("formated"));
}
}This exception is thrown when an error occurs during the request
