Chatbot with Web Speech API and API.AI SDK

Alfred

A simple chat bot based on API.AI, Web Speech API, Socket.io and Node.js

Web Speech API is experimental with limited support.

This is how this web app works:

1. Using the Web Speech API’s SpeechRecognition interface to listen your voice from a microphone
2. Send your message to API.ai (the natural language processing platform) as a text string
3. Once the AI from the API.ai returns the reply text back, use the SpeechSynthesis interface to give it a synthetic voice.

For local development

• API.ai API key (as an env var).
• Install Node.js dependencies , npm install
• Run npm start
