Page Comparison

• Add a Filter: Make a new filter by adding a rule and entity in order to sort recipes in a new way.

• Add a Functionality or Capability: The bot is quite limited in what it can do at the moment so you could add something like:

  • small talk capabilities: So it could ask how are you and respond to that conversation. You would need a new intent, and/or pattern, and/or response.

  • reading the recipe steps to the user: once the user confirms a recipe maybe the bot could read the recipe steps. You could add a pattern, response, and a new page for this.

  • check if the user has all the ingredients: maybe before confirming the recipe you could ask the user if they have the ingredients the recipe requires so they can check before starting. This would require a new page, pattern, and response.

  • allow the user to ask to restart or quit: would need a pattern, intent, entity, etc.

  • allow the user to ask for a random recommendation: “Recommend me something”. This would require a pattern, intent or entity, response, and rule.

  • add a rating system for the bot to get feedback

  • last topic check: ask the user if they want to find another recipe and if yes go to start again

• Extend Visuals: NOTE in the visuals section we already talk about extending it. There we mostly mean aesthetic changes that should be added, when talking about the visuals extension here we are specifically referring to extending visuals functionality, i.e. adding something that makes the visuals more supportive. We do not recommend making this the main focus of your extension but it would be nice to include it.

• Agent personality, style, and characteristics: You can work on designing and shaping the responses from your agent to suggest a particular personality, to provide it with a specific conversational style, or with social characteristics that may increase the user experience. See e.g. this paper for more ideas.
