Recast.AI starter kit Ruby

A starter kit for developing bots on the Recast.AI platform.

Note: This project is currently in beta version and can be modified at any time.

Requirements

Ruby version

We recommand use ruby 2.3+

Recast.AI account

Create an account on the Recast.AI platform and follow this quick tutorial to create your first bot on the interface.

Usage

Installation

First clone the project:

git clone git@github.com:RecastAI/starter-ruby.git my-bot && cd my-bot

Then, install the dependencies:

bundle

Fill the config file

Fill the config.rb at the root of your project with your Recast token and (optionally) the language and the port you want to use.

ENV['REQUEST_TOKEN'] ||= 'YOUR_TOKEN'
ENV['LANGUAGE'] ||= nil
ENV['PORT'] ||= '5000'

This configuration will be loaded by the bot.rb file in case they are not already present in the environment.

To complete your Recast.AI token and your language:

Go to your bot page
Click on the settings icon (the gear on the right of your screen)
Copy your request token
Set the default language of your bot as either 'en', 'fr', ...

Run locally

ruby bot.rb

Note: Next steps, only if you have connected your bot to channels, using the Bot Connector tool

Download ngrok
Launch: ngrok http 5000
Copy the url ngrok outputs
Paste it in the Recast.AI interface: Go to your bot page, click on the RUN tab and edit your current bot webhook
Chat with your bot on the channels you've configured ;)
