Build your first chatbot

Wire up a rule-based help-desk bot as a flow chart, then test it on real messages.

Your library help-desk bot

A message comes in at the top. The bot checks each rule in order and uses the first one that matches.

  1. Message arrives
  2. No rule matched: I'm not sure. I'll ask a librarian to help you.

Test with six real messages

  • “hello! when do you open?”

  • “can I borrow a book about space?”

  • “hi, I feel scared and unsafe at recess”

  • “hey there”

  • “do you have a printer?”

  • “I got hurt reaching for a book”
