Features

We want to create the most powerful and easiest tool for chatbot and virtual assistants creation, nurturing, analyzing and management. It gives you a total control on your robot, using transparent and free technology.

It combines:

• A cool graphical interface
• In-house NLP engine embedded :fire: (openNLX), transparency : no dependencies to any NLP api nor black tricks
• Connectors to publish to Webchat and Facebook Messenger (soon available other platforms)
• webhooks and plugins integration
• Playground to instantly test your intents
• Analytics

We are working hard to add new features:

• Entities editor
• An interactive flow and scenarios display
• A better playground debugger
• other conversational UI components
• And more candies
• You could also request a feature

Development

Opla is framed by a frontend and a backend. For details about development in each of those, please see front/README.md and backend/README.md.

We are using Javascript ES2018+, React, Node.js and other top notch tools.

How to install

Run locally with docker-compose

The quickest way to run opla locally is to follow this guide

Deploy to your own Kubernetes cluster

Requirements

You will need :

• (required) a Kubernetes cluster with LoadBalancer support.
• (required) nginx-ingress-controller with an IP. Even better if you have a domain name pointing to that IP.
• (required) kubectl locally
• (required) myke (a yaml version of make/Makefile) locally. See here for installation.`
• (required) tiller, helm
• (optional) cert-manager for let's encrypt certificates, if needed.
• (optional) external-storage/snapshots for snapshots and backups of your database, if you need them.

Helm charts

Helm charts get published at https://opla.github.io/opla You can fetch charts this way :

helm repo add opla https://opla.github.io/opla
helm repo update
helm fetch opla/opla-front opla/opla-backend

Install and deploy with helm You can then install opla like any other helm application, and edit configuration by specifying your values.yaml or using helm --set ....

export API_DOMAIN=<YOUR_API_DOMAIN>
export FRONT_DOMAIN=<YOUR_FRONT_DOMAIN>
export NAMESPACE=test #to change if needed 
helm upgrade --install --namespace ${NAMESPACE} \
  --set namespace=${NAMESPACE} \
  --set api.domain=${API_DOMAIN} \
  --set front.domain=${FRONT_DOMAIN} \
  front opla/opla-front

helm upgrade --install --namespace ${NAMESPACE} \
  --set namespace=${NAMESPACE} \
  --set api.domain=${FRONT_DOMAIN} \
  backend opla/opla-backend

You can use --set api.domain=$IP.xip.io --set front.domain=$IP.xip.io as domain name if you only have an IP for your loadbalancer.

Your app is then available at http://${NAMESPACE}.${FRONT_DOMAIN}

In general, if you need more details about how we deploy opla, you can have a look at our CircleCI config.yaml, where we run commands to deploy it.
