Hi Jeffrey,
I started looking into this a couple of years ago (using LibraryH3lp's API
even) and then the project got pushed to the backburner due to too many other
priorities.
I was using Program O for the chatbot itself -
https://github.com/Program-O/Program-O except I fixed a bug and now would have
to dig to remind myself what that was. Maybe they've fixed it themselves since
then though
And then I built a 'bridge' between the two in PHP. I can email you that code
separately. No guarantees, etc etc especially since I haven't looked at it in
two years, but it did by and large work at the time...
Kā mihi maioha,

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Chat bot
Greetings,
Has anybody created a chat bot to answer basic questions (what are the hours,
how many books can I check out) for the Library's chat reference service? If
so would you be willing to share your code? I have just started to explore
this so any direction or resources would be of help. My Library is using
LibraryH3lp, which has a REST api and some limited resources.
Thank you,
-
Jeffrey
