Welcome back to our final installment of BadgerChat! For this assignment, you will re-implement BadgerChat as a chat application. By completing this class, you will have developed a web, mobile, and chat interface for BadgerChat! 🥳🎉
You will complete a chat agent using Wit.AI.
The starter code provided to you was generated using vite. Furthermore, bootstrap and react-bootstrap have already been installed. In this directory, simply run...
npm install
npm run devThen, in a browser, open localhost:5173. You should not open index.html in a browser; React works differently than traditional web programming! When you save your changes, they appear in the browser automatically. I recommend using Visual Studio Code to do your development work.
All routes are relative to https://cs571api.cs.wisc.edu/rest/f25/hw10/
- This API shares the same database as HW6 and HW9.
- This API only supports getting chatrooms and messages; it does not support authentication.
- This API does NOT paginate messages nor is a chatroom name required.
- Instead, a
chatroomand maxnumof posts (up to 10) may optionally be specified.

As of October 22nd, Wit.AI does not seem to be training any new agents with no end in sight. Therefore, a WitAI Access Token is given for you in TextApp.jsx with a pre-trained agent! You can activate the following intents by using the utterances below...
get_help
- help
- get help
- what can I do
get_chatrooms
- chatrooms
- what chatrooms are there
- what chatrooms can I use
get_messages
- messages
- give me the 4 latest posts
- what are the 3 latest posts in Bascom Hill Hangout
The badgerchat_witai.zip is attached for your reference for specifics about the utterances, intents, and entities used.
In your Wit.AI agent, train your agent to understand a get_help intent. Utterances along the lines of "help", "get help", or "what can I do" should trigger this intent. In response, the agent should inform the user of which actions it supports.
In your Wit.AI agent, train your agent to understand a get_chatrooms intent. Utterances along the lines of "chatrooms", "what chatrooms are there", or "what chatrooms can I use" should trigger this intent.
Then, when this intent is triggered, the agent should respond with the full list of chatrooms. You must get this data by fetching from the API; you may not hardcode the chatroom names.
In your Wit.AI agent, train your agent to understand a get_messages intent. Utterances along the lines of "messages", "give me the 4 latest posts", or "what are the 3 latest posts in Bascom Hill Hangout" should trigger this intent.
Then, when this intent is triggered, the agent should respond with the latest X messages for Y chatroom as consecutive responses.
Note that both X and Y are optional entities. If the number is omitted, you may assume that it is 1. If the chatroom is omitted, you may assume that it is the latest overall posts across all chatrooms. For example, if the message is "the latest message" where the message is the omitted, you need to compare the single latest message in all chatrooms, and output only the latest one after comparing all the latest messages.
You do not need to handle cases where the number is less than 1, greater than 10, negative, or a floating point number. You can assume a user will always either (a) not type a number at all or (b) type in a number between 1 and 10.
Go back to each of the previous intents and vary the way in which your agent responds. That is, rather than responding in the same way for each intent, choose from a random verbiage. For example, when a user asks for help, the agent can respond with "In BadgerChat, you can..." or "Try out using..." For each intent, have atleast 2 different ways the agent can respond.
There is no video demo for this assignment; simply leave your CS571_WITAI_ACCESS_TOKEN hardcoded. This was given for you.
Then add, commit, and push your code!
