Zoozl services for chatbots

zoozl

Server for chatbot services

Usage

For basic example a chatbot plugin is provided in zoozl.plugins package. It is a simple chatbot that allows to play bulls & cows game. It is also a plugin that is loaded in case no configuration file is provided.

Run websocket server

python -m zoozl 1601 --conf chatbot.toml

where 1601 is the port number and chatbot.toml is optional configuration file.

Architecture

zoozl package contains modules that handle various input interfaces like websocket or http POST and a chatbot interface that must be extended by plugins. Without plugin zoozl is not able to respond to any input. Plugin can be considered as a single chat assistant to handle a specific task. Plugin can be huge and complex or simple and small. It is up to the developer to decide how to structure plugins.

Plugin

Mimimal setup

1. Add in toml configuration

extensions = ['my_plugin_module']

2. Make sure my_plugin_module is importable from within python that will run zoozl server
3. Create file my_plugin_module.py

from zoozl.chatbot import Interface

class MyPlugin(Interface):

    aliases = ("call myplugin",)

    def consume(self, context: , package: Package):
        package.callback("Hello this is my plugin response")

4. Start zoozl server with your configuration file and asking to bot call myplugin it will respond Hello this is my plugin response

Configuration file

Configuration file must conform to TOML format. Example of configuration:

title = "Global configuration for Chatbot"
extensions = ["chatbot_fifa_extension", "zoozl.plugins.greeter"]

[chatbot_fifa_extension]
database_path = "tests/tmp"
administrator = "admin"

Root objects like title, extensions are configuration options for chatbot system wide setup, you can pass unlimited objects in configuration, however suggested is to add a component for each plugin and separate those within components.
