How to create a continuous conversation?

by jyambz posted Nov 8 2019, 20:47

I am having difficulty creating a continuous conversation. That will allow the user and the bot to communicate. Like happy or sad conversation. Any idea how to begin with.
Thank you very much.

For example, a happy or sad conversation with previous and next response. I tried but did not work.Let's say, I started the conversation wih:
User: Hi
Bot: Hello, how are you?
User: I'm sad
Bot:

I used the Hi and How are you as previous response. Separate response from the next response

There are several ways to define conversations for your bot.

These include
  • conversation flows/trees using our response "next" feature
  • topics
  • previous
Normally conversation flows are the best method, as they are isolated and more structured,

If you want a less structured method using topics is a good option. Topics can be isolated/exclusive as well.
You can also have topic specific default responses.

You can also use the response "previous" (AIML "that") to defined context specific response. The previous response is the bot's previous response. You can also have previous specific default responses.

See,

You can also do more advanced things through code using "think", "condition", and Self scripts.

I used previous instead of next question. The bot keeps on repeating what I'm saying. I forgot to used option, may be that is why it keeps on repeating the responses

you could put I am sad for the question.

And for a new response why are you said?

you could put very very sad for the question. 

and for a new response why are you sad?

Maybe you fixed it, as when I chat with your bot I get,

> Thank you very much
> Okay see you

The reason your bot is repeating some questions is it has no response and no default response.
You should add a default response (such as "Sorry, I do not understand.").

In general never add common words like "you" as a keyword (you can put it as a required word).

When the bot say "I understand...." this response is coming from the "Understanding" script. If you don't want these responses then delete that script.

click on learning chatlogs and then click on review conversation this week. then answer my questions that will improve your chatbot. think of questions people would ask you or your chatbot. then input that question in the form of keyphrases into the question and type in a appropriate response.

I did that. The only mistake that I made was using the next flow structure which leads to that kind of problem

I also have a default response : Are you happy or sad? but unfortunately it did not work that way. She never utter that response. What must I do?
With regards to the next nested structure, it was also unsuccessful, leading to this kind of error

default responses are only used when a chatbot has nothing else to say. you should only have one of those. greetings are used when a user interacts at the beginning of a conversation with a chatbot. you can have many greetings. when using previous you have to copy one of your rsponses into it with your selected question or response. focus on learning these things.
