I have provided basic steps to create the chatbot:

Creating a chatbot using Botpress is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:

---

Install Node.js on your computer if you haven't already.

1. Open a terminal and install Botpress using the following command:

DownloadCopy code

1npx botpress-cli create my-bot

Replace my-bot with the desired name for your bot.

3. After the installation is complete, navigate to the bot's directory:

DownloadCopy code

1cd my-bot

4. Now, you can start the Botpress server using the following command:

DownloadCopy code

1npm start

5. Open a web browser and navigate to

http://localhost:3000

5. to access the Botpress Dashboard.

6. Click on "Design" in the top menu to create your chatbot.

7. Start by adding a new skill by clicking on the "+" button on the top left corner of the dashboard.

8. Choose a "Fallback" skill type, as this is the simplest type of skill.

9. Give your skill a name and click on "Create".

10. Now, you can create your conversation flow by adding different responses to your chatbot.

11. To test your chatbot, click on "Try it Live" in the top menu.

12. Once you're satisfied with your chatbot, you can deploy it to a server by following the deployment instructions provided by Botpress.

Integrating the chatbot with a web application can be done using the Botpress SDK. Here's a simple example:

javascript

DownloadCopy code

1// Import the Botpress SDK 2import { Chat } from 'botpress-sdk'; 3 4// Create a new Chat instance 5const chat = new Chat(); 6 7// Connect to the chatbot 8chat.connect({ 9 apiKey: 'your-api-key', 10 userId: 'your-user-id', 11 sessionId: 'your-session-id', 12 apiUrl: 'http://localhost:3000' // Replace with the URL of your deployed chatbot 13}); 14 15// Send a message to the chatbot 16chat.send('Hello!').then((response) => { 17 console.log('Bot response:', response.message); 18});

Make sure to replace 'your-api-key', 'your-user-id', 'your-session-id', and 'http://localhost:3000' with the appropriate values for your chatbot.

Remember to install the Botpress SDK before using it:

DownloadCopy code

1npm install botpress-sdk

After completing these steps, your chatbot should be successfully integrated with your web application.
