A Facebook Messenger bot that uses the Wikia API to get articles about the topic that YOU choose, and generate questions from them on the fly. Made at Hack The North 2017.
I love doing trivia about my favourite topics in fandom and fiction. However, all the trivia apps I use always run out of questions and so I have to answer the same questions again and again. This was my solution to the problem.
NodeJS for the backend. Heroku for deployment and Facebook for its messenger platform. Wikia API for questions data and some help from the Google Cloud NLP API for making questions from data. I have plans to integrate api.ai and firebase in the future to provide some basic NLP to make conversations feel more life like and to provide a platform to users to rank questions they loved.
On entering a topic, the bot outputs a question from the topic, with basic error handling on bad input and bad data received from Wikia.
Answers, Spell Check and NLP on user input, question rating, better NLP to make questions.
Ports to Amazon Echo, standalone iOS and Android apps, etc.
