Voice-QL - Web Client - Chat Widget
Introduction
This code in this repository is part of the "Voice QL" project and requires two other services to be up and running when you want to run it (see installation instructions below).
The main setup and architecture has been cloned from the Jovo ChatBot example which can be found here: https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-starter-web-chatwidget
You can use this Web Client to communicate with a database via a ChatBot like interface using natural language commands.
Look and feel
After launch in a browser you can use a chat interface to type in German voice commands which will then be executed by the Voice-QL backend.
The bigger window will show the auto generated SQL statements that have been build on the fly to answer your request. The following screen shot shows you the look and feel:

-
Preparation: Start Voice-QL as described here: https://github.com/fboerncke/voice-ql#setup--installation

Checkout, build and start the chatbot:
mkdir voice-ql-vue-chatbot git clone git@github.com:fboerncke/voice-ql-vue-chat-client.git npm install npm run serve -
If you experience problems when launching and see error messsages related to SSL this may be because of a newer node version. The following environment setting should help you in that case:
export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-providerThen run
npm run serveagain. -
Now use your local browser and navigate to the address shown in the console window, e.g.
http://localhost:8080/and follow the instructions on the screen.
App
You can host your Jovo app on almost any platform, whether you choose a hosting provider or to build your own Node.js-based HTTP server. Here are a few examples:
