During this week, as a complete team you will select three recipes for the conversational agent from recipes.pl, to work out further in pairs for recipe selection, visual support and recipe instruction. In addition, you will set up the initial version of the cooking assistant, by creating a Dialogflow agent (See here).

You should organize your team and decide who will work on the separate subtasks of Recipe Selection, Visual Support, and Recipe Instruction. In this week, the Recipe Selection team will focus on the start of the conversation, enabling the assistant to greet and to have the user select one of the three recipes, while the Recipe Instruction team will focus on the subsequent instruction of the three recipes. The Visual Support team will incorporate visuals to enrich the conversation. More details about the separate tasks of the three pairs are given below.

Recipe Selection

This section entails the tasks to be completed by The tasks for the Recipe Selection team . It will mainly involve in week 1 concern the steps to have allow the user to select a certain recipe from the knowledge base provided as recipes.pl. For the recipes, multiple websites are available.

Therefore, simpler recipes were extracted from this website and made available in the file recipes.pl. For inspiration, check the Cooking Assistant space for a further discussion on the recipe selection conversationthat you can find on Tasty. Although not yet the focus for this week, you can get some ideas on how to implement the recipe selection task here in the Cooking Assistant space.

Opening the conversation by greeting

• The agent should open the conversation with a greeting, and by sharing its name (self-identify). To achieve this, add the corresponding C1 opening patterns in the patterns.pl file and choose a name for your chatbot (insert the an agentName/1 fact into the agent’s belief base in the init module).

• Check out the patterns.pl file as it contains additional instruction details. An opening pattern should be selected when the session history is still empty. Make sure that the agent self-identifies by the corresponding pattern only when an agentName/1 behavioral parameter is set has been instantiated.

• You should also introduce a greeting intent in your Dialogflow agent to allow the user to respond to the agent's greeting. Click here for instructions on how to create an intent in your Dialogflow Agent.
