Beta - Please keep in mind that this application is under heavy development

Rasa UI

Rasa UI is a web application built on top of, and for, Rasa NLU. Rasa UI provides a web application to quickly and easily be able to create agents, define intents and entities. It also provides some convenience features for Rasa NLU, like training your models, monitoring usage or viewing logs. Our goal is to replace API.ai with Rasa, so a lot of the terminology and usage concepts are similar.

New Features in 1.0 (Master)

Webhook option for Agents
Authentication module can be extended to a different IDP and session is handled by JWT token
Webhooks also recieve User information part of JWT Token in the Bearer Authorization Header
User level Tracking of conversations
New Insights to show the frequently used intents and more drill down details on utterences to be added
Import Agents in rasa format
Docker container capabilities
Existing apps can migrate to this version after running the db-alters.sql under resources and updating their codebase to master.(Although a back up of the data is recommended as rasa-uui is still in Beta version)
Adapted to rasa_nlu 0.10.x Projects Structure. Each Agent in UI translates to a Project on the NLU.

Features

Training data stored in DB
UI for managing training data
Initiate training from UI
Review Rasa configuration and component pipelines
Log requests for usage tracking, history, improvements
Usage dashboard
Easily execute intent parsing using different models

Getting Started

Rasa UI can run directly on your Rasa NLU instance, or on a separate machine. Technically Rasa NLU is not required, you could just use the UI for managing training data.

Prerequisites

Rasa NLU - Version 8.2.?+

PostgreSQL - Used for storing training data (entities, intents, synonyms, etc.)

Node.js/npm - Serves Rasa UI and acts as a middleware server for logging (to the PostgreSQL DB)

Installing

Please ensure prerequisites are fulfilled

Clone/download the Rasa UI repository. Install npm packages foe both Server and Web.

git clone https://github.com/paschmann/rasaui.git
npm install

cd web/src
npm install

Please see the wiki for more detailed instructions.

DB Setup

Execute dbcreate.sql on postgreSQL. (If migrating from an older version of rasa-ui, execute db-alters.sql)
All the Tables and views should be setup

RasaNLU Setup

Update your package.json file to include the IP Addresses of your rasa_nlu server and the connection string of your postgres instance.
Update your web/src/app.js file to include the IP Addresses of your local middleware server (no need to change this if they are running on the same instance)

Running

Run npm start from the server folder (rasa-ui)

npm start

Your web application should be available on http://localhost:5001

Logging

Since Rasa UI can be used to log events/intent parsing/training etc. we would suggest changing your endpoints for your API calls to "pass through" the Rasa UI middleware layer. All API requests are simply forwarded, logged and then returned.

e.g. Instead of calling: http://localhost:5000/parse?q=hello%20there rather call: http://localhost:5001/api/parse?q=hello%20there
