Method Detail

• handleKeyword

   Intent handleKeyword(String sentence)

  Used to handle "secret" keywords.

• precompute

   NlpResult precompute(SendSentence sentence, UserTimeline userTimeline, Dialog dialog, BotDefinition botDefinition)

  Precomputes NLP result - if this method returns null, the NlpResult is used and no NLP call is sent.

  Default returns null.

• updateQuery

   NlpQuery updateQuery(SendSentence sentence, UserTimeline userTimeline, Dialog dialog, BotDefinition botDefinition, NlpQuery nlpQuery)

  This method is automatically called by the bot before a NLP request is sent in order to update the NLP query parameters. Overrides it if you need more control on NLP request.

  Default returns nlpQuery without change.

• findIntent

   IntentAware findIntent(UserTimeline userTimeline, Dialog dialog, Event event, NlpResult nlpResult)

  This method is automatically called by the bot after a NLP request in order to select an intent. Overrides it if you need more control on intent choice.

  If it returns null, ai.tock.bot.definition.BotDefinition.findIntent is called.

  Default returns null.

• evaluateEntities

   List<EntityValue> evaluateEntities(UserTimeline userTimeline, Dialog dialog, Event event, NlpResult nlpResult)

  Allows custom entity evaluation - default returns empty list.

• sortEntitiesToMerge

   List<NlpEntityMergeContext> sortEntitiesToMerge(List<NlpEntityMergeContext> entities)

  Defines custom sort new entity values. This is useful when you want to evaluate an entity role only after an other entity role has been evaluated (entity dependence use case). Default does nothing.

• mergeEntityValues

   NlpEntityMergeContext mergeEntityValues(DialogState dialogState, Action action, NlpEntityMergeContext entityToMerge)

  Allows to override NlpEntityMergeContext before trying to merge the entity context.

• success

   Unit success(NlpQuery query, NlpResult result)

  Called when nlp request is successful.

• error

   Unit error(NlpQuery query, Dialog dialog, Throwable throwable)

  Called when nlp request is throwing an error.

  Using this method, you can for example redirect to a custom story which will handle the error.

  object MyNlpListener : NlpListener {
   override fun error(query: NlpQuery, dialog: Dialog, throwable: Throwable?) {
    super.error(query, dialog, throwable)
    dialog.state.currentIntent = bot.myCustomErrorStory.mainIntent()
   }
  }
