Slide deck created with Formidable Labs' Spectacle, which is 👌. (Thanks for the great library, Formidable folks! 💖)
This talk includes a couple of interactive slides exposing an interface with two different chatbots (a simple example bot and ELIZA). I'm planning to set up the interactive chat examples on CodePen projects, but until then, here's where you'll want to look if you want to look at the code for those:
- the chat mini-app (a React component) is in this repo at assets/components/chat.js
- the simple emoji chatterbot is here at assets/chatGenerators/chatterbot1.js
- the Eliza code is here at assets/chatGenerators/eliza/
After downloading this repo, your first order of business is to open terminal and run yarn. (Or npm install if you're about that life. We don't judge. Much.)
Next, run rm -R .git to remove the existing version control.
To start up the local node server, run npm start.
Open a browser and hit http://localhost:3000, and you are ready to freakin' roll.
Building the dist version of the project is as easy as running npm run build.
If you want to deploy the slideshow to surge, run npm run deploy.
