About

CalamarcoPollo project is a chatbot for consulting intercity bus schedules in Brazil using Brazilian Portuguese natural language queries and conversations.

This project is also a real-world app used to improve and test the, still very alpha CalaMars framework.

For inspiration of what the pollo is capable of, try one of the sample statements.

Install

mkdir mybot
cd mybot
npm install calamarcopollo@latest
cp node_modules/calamarcopollo/.env-sample .env
# fill-in the blanks
source .env
`npm bin`/pollo

Custom replies

In the .env file, you can setup a path with a javascript module to override any of the default reply strings, this custom path is stored in the CUSTOM_REPLIES_PATH environment var.

You can copy the replies/custom.js file to use it as basis for your replacements:

cp node_modules/calamarcopollo/replies/custom.js ./custom-replies.js
# edit .env file to add the absolute path to custom-replies.js file as value
# for the CUSTOM_REPLIES_PATH variable
source .env
