Inspiration

Questions related to pregnancy are very common and since this subject is bounded, we had the idea to organize it as a chat bot making it easy to interact with pregnant Women.

What it does

The bot interact with users by responding to questions related to pregnancy, such as : general information, symptoms that may happens to the mom, baby development and progress.

How we built it

The bot is a ciscospark bot that is hosted in heroku.com. The user's message is intercepted by the bot and sent to wit.ai in order to retrieve answer or to begin a dialog. In the wit.ai side, we have organized some questions and answer related to pregnancy and we train it in order to understand what intent and entities have to be extracted.

Challenges we ran into

This was the first time we work on a such project that involves chat bots. The logic dialog in wit still in beta version and is restricted to some scenarios.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A first attempt to create a pregnancy chat bot that could be enhanced in the future to response to all questions.

What we learned

How to use ciscospark and wit apis.

What's next for Pregnancy Chat Bot

The bot can be enhanced, by adding more content to it. In the future we will investigate the use of our own logic to process dialog rather than using the story of Wit.ai.
