Create a ChatBot within a minute with just 3 commands!

Chatbot is becoming famous these days and it is helping a lot of businesses serve customers better as well as the customers are also getting their queries answered in just few milliseconds .

So, building a chatbot was a tedious task may be a few years back. But now we have a lot of frameworks available for creating chatbots which help us to create one in a very short period of time.

Here is one such framework known as RASA. You can create a basic chatbot by just entering three commands. RASA just makes things simpler for you. Even customise the ChatBot is same like writing a story in just english words.

So, here goes the procedure to develop your first ChatBot:

1. Create a folder named RasaBot:
2. Open an empty terminal in that Folder.

3. Just enter the command pip3 install rasa. This will install the rasa package which contains all the dependencies for creating a RASA chatbot into your system. Note: If you do not have pip package manager install it using python get-pip.py.

4. Then enter the command rasa init — no-prompt. This will create all the files needed for the chatbot.

This will create the following files:

5. Now it’s time to speak to our basic chatbot. Enter the command rasa shell to activate the chatbot and speak to it in the terminal.

6. To customise the chatbot or create a chatbot of your own just change the Story Paths in the file stories.md in the folder data.

In my next blog you can find the definition for the various terminologies in creating the chatbot. Stay tuned!!!
