Web application UI for rasa chatbot

Rasa Open Source
1

Hello,

I am very new to chatbots. I have an existing web application where i want to have a chatbot. A very basic chatbot with very less NLP support. More of if else statements then intelligence. Question:

  1. How do i get started
  2. Does Rasa provide UI that i can easily hook into my web page html?
  3. And how to i host it

Thanks, Amit

hey @amitsood welcome to RASA forum, you can get started by visiting this link :

and RASA doesn’t provides an UI to hook into you webpage but yes it do you REST channels where you can integrate your bot

and if you want to do so you visit this link :slight_smile:

Hi @JiteshGaikwad, Thanks for the reply.

So when you say it does not provide a chat UI. Means i have to custom build a chat UI and then use RASA backend as a service to it?

It doesn’t have a channel that hooks into a web app?

thanks

yes @amitsood you need to build a custom chat UI and use RASA as backend service,
