The document provides a guide on creating a Slack chatbot using Botkit and integrating it with external APIs and natural language processing (NLP) services. It covers installation steps, coding examples for message handling and API requests, and emphasizes the benefits of automating repetitive tasks to reduce errors. Additionally, it offers insights on using NLP to enhance user interactions with chatbots.

- 9. But why a ChatBot?
- 10. Some of the things we do in our every day lives, especially at our jobs, can be automated.
- 11. Whenever a human is involved in a repetitive task … there is a chance for an error.
- 12. Let the Robots do the work.
- 13. Do You Want to Build a ChatBot?
- 14. Installation # Installing Botkit npm install -g botkit # Creating new project botkit new —platform slack
- 15. Start the application # Start Server node bot.js # Start server clientId=CLIENT_ID clientSecret=CLIENT_SECRET PORT=3000 node bot.js
- 16. Start the application # Create .env file clientId=CLIENT_ID clientSecret=CLIENT_SECRET PORT=3000 # Exposer port using ngrok ngrok http 3000
- 17. Minimum configuration var Botkit = require('botkit'); var request = require('request'); var bot_options = { clientId: process.env.clientId, clientSecret: process.env.clientSecret, scopes: ['bot'] };

- 21. Integrate API … REST/GraphQL
- 22. API calls controller.hears(['show crypto prices'], incomingEvent, function(bot, message) { bot.reply(message, 'fetching information ...'); request({ method: ‘get', uri: 'https://api.bitso.com/v3/ticker', json: true, }, function (err, response, json) { let colors = [ 'good', 'warning', 'danger']; for(var i = 0; i < json.payload.length; i++) { bot.reply(message, { attachments: [{ "title": json.payload[i].book, "text": JSON.stringify(json.payload[i], undefined, 2), "color": colors[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)] }] }); } }); });
- 24. Natural language processing (NLP) can be defined as the ability of a machine to analyze, understand, and generate human speech.
- 25. The goal of NLP is to make interactions between computers and humans feel exactly like interactions between humans and humans.
- 26. Easily create text or voice based bots that humans can chat with on their preferred messaging platform. https://wit.ai/ Wit.AI
- 27. botkit-witai # Require dependency npm install --save botkit-witai # Start server clientId=CLIENT_ID clientSecret=CLIENT_SECRET PORT=3000 wit_ai_token=WIT_AI_TOKEN node bot.js
