The discussion revolves around using Discourse content as a knowledge base for a chatbot. Abhijith_Arkalgud seeks to create a chatbot that can answer user queries by leveraging Discourse topics, such as recipes in a food-related forum. The bot would respond with topic summaries and links for existing dishes and suggest similar recipes for non-existing ones. Sean_R suggests that any chatbot capable of reading from an open API could achieve this. codinghorror humorously points out that the user might have missed the Discobot PM, which could answer some questions. Abhijith_Arkalgud clarifies the need to use Discourse content directly as a knowledge base. sam concludes that this is a complex project requiring custom programming, as no off-the-shelf solution exists.
I am interested to host a chat bot that can use discourse content as a knowledge base to respond to forum user queries.
Example: My Discourse is say about Food and Categories are cuisines, topics are recipes.
Q: What is the recipe of < Existing Dish @ Discourse >?
A: Here it is: < Discourse Topic Summary + URL >
Q: How do I prepare < Non Existing Dish >
A: Here are a few relevant dishes < All with keywords in the question >
Is something available for this?
Any chat bot that can read from an open API should be able to do it. What chat bots are you looking at?
Any suggestions for the chat bot?
Has this been done before over discourse?
Errrr.. did you completely ignore the PM from discobot when you first created your account? I suggest not ignoring it, and then you can answer many of your own questions.
@codinghorror
What is the knowledge base for this discobot?
How can I use discourse content itself as Knowledge base to answer users questions
Can someone help please?
How do i make discourse content as a way to answer questions raised to discobot
You would need to hire a programmer here, it would be a very complicated project, nothing exists out of the box to solve this.
