Basic Overview

Rasa Talk is a Dialog Management tool built on top of Rasa NLU. It was built out of a desire for a open source on premise dialog management system. Originally inspired by Rasa UI inspiration was taken from watson conversation.

Rasa Talk can be used as just a training data generator but can also hook your chatbot up to Facebook/Telegram/Skype/Slack whatever!

Installation

**Prerequisites**

- Database: [Mongodb](https://www.mongodb.com/) - You can run this locally or online like [mlab](https://mlab.com/)
- Chatbot Brain: [Rasa NLU](https://rasa.com/docs/nlu/) - I recommend running with [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/rasa/rasa_nlu/)

```
git clone https://github.com/jackdh/RasaTalk/
Rename example.env to '.env'
Update the variables to include your MongoDB server IP and Rasa NLU IP.
yarn
yarn start
```

**Docker**

Update `.env` or `docker-compose.yml` with selected environment variables. (Mongodb volumes do not work on windows)

`docker-compose up`

**Or view https://github.com/jackdh/RasaTalk/wiki/Setup for a more detailed setup guide**

Features

Facebook / Skype / Third parties.



Third Party Intregration


Due to the constumisable nature of RT it's possible to hook it up to practically any third party chatbot you'd like. For starters I've included a quick example of how you might use [Botkit](https://github.com/howdyai/botkit) as a middleware to get to Facebook

Both Facebook and Telegram can be easily setup within the app 🚀 Check out the [telegram setup](https://github.com/jackdh/RasaTalk/wiki/Telegram-Setup) wiki for more information!
