AI Chatbot

Overview

This is an AI Chatbot which you can put in your website. It uses JSON arrays to handle user requests and displays its answers in a custom chatbot container. It has no memory nor the chats are saved.

Usage

Simple. Just prompt a question and the chatbot will check if it has that answer. If so, he will respond. Else it will display an "I do not understand " message.

Requirements

You must have the following packages installed so that the project can serve and work properly:

gcc
gcc-12
g++
build-essential
libasio-dev
nlohmann-json3-dev
cmake
Crow

and all of the recommended packages from the ones above. Crow must be installed through git as shown below in the installation section.

Installation (linux)

1. Clone this git repo

    git clone https://github.com/E9cipher/ai_chatbot.git
   

   or download the ZIP folder

2. Install dependences Ubuntu/Debian

   apt update && apt install gcc gcc-12 g++ build-essential libasio-dev nlohmann-json3-dev cmake
   

   Arch Linux

   pacman -S gcc gcc-12 g++ build-essential libasio-dev nlohmann-json3-dev cmake
   

   Fedora

   dnf install gcc gcc-12 build-essential libasio-dev nlohmann-json3-dev cmake
   

3. Clone Crow repo

   git clone https://github.com/CrowCpp/Crow.git
   cd Crow
   mkdir build && cd build
   cmake .. && make
   make install
   

   You must make sure you have the requirements shown above. Else, the project won't serve properly. Even though it seems strange, you must remove the build directory and create it again. Exit process with Ctrl C. Note: make usually takes time if it's your first installation. To speed this process, instead of running simply make run make -j$(nproc), which speeds up the process by taking all CPU cores avaliable but it will freeze your system.

4. Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/.

Modifying Files

For a fast file modifying, I recommend to modify the files while the server is running. If you want to modify server.cpp you will have to compile everything again
