Flutter by Google enables the creation of native Android and iOS apps using a single codebase. One of its notable features is its vast selection of pre-built and customizable widgets, making the process of designing user interfaces a breeze.
To create a Flutter chatbot on Kommunicate and activate ChatGPT, start by following these steps:
Step 1: Log in to the Kommunicate dashboard.
Go to your Kommunicate dashboard and navigate to the Bot Integration section.
Look for the Kompose section and click on Integrate Bot.
Next, complete the setup of your bot by specifying its name, language, and human handoff setting. Once you configure these, proceed to finalize the bot setup.
Step 2: Create Welcome Message & Intents for your Flutter chatbot
Navigate to the ‘Manage Bots‘ section and choose the bot you have created.
Next, you need to set up the welcome message for your chatbot. The welcome message is the initial message that the chatbot sends to the user who starts a conversation.
Click on the “Welcome Message” section, then, type the message that your chatbot should show to the users when they open the chatbot and save the welcome intent.
After creating the welcome message, the next step in chatbot building is to create Intents (questions and answers). In the “Answer” section, you can add all the possible user’s questions and the chatbot’s corresponding responses.
To get started, click on the “+Add” button and provide an “Intent name”. Under “Step 1: User Says”, you need to specify the phrases/questions that will trigger the chatbot’s response. In the “Step 2: Bot Says” section, you need to specify the chatbot’s response to the user’s message. You can add multiple answers and follow-up responses to make the chatbot more interactive.
