Usage

Conversation API

Initialize your own credentials for Conversation API

Watson::Conversation.configure(
  password: 'YOUR_CONVERSATION_PASSWORD',
  username: 'YOUR_CONVERSATION_USERNAME',
  url:      'https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/conversation/api',
  workspace_id: 'YOUR_CONVERSATION_WORKSPACE_ID'
)

Example: A simple response from your dialog model

require 'watson'

client = Watson::Conversation.new
client.send_message('message one')
  >> "Watson response one"
client.send_message('message two')
  >> "Watson response two"

Try something different

require 'watson'

puts 'Say Hi!'
user_input = nil
until user_input == 'q' || user_input == 'exit'
  print '> '
  user_input = gets.chomp
  return if user_input == 'q' || user_input == 'exit'
  r = client.send_message(user_input)
  puts r
  sleep 0.5
end

Retrieve and Rank API

Initialize your own credentials for Conversation API

Watson::RetrieveAndRank.configure(
  url:      'https://watson-api-explorer.mybluemix.net/retrieve-and-rank/api',
  password: 'YOUR_RETRIEVE_AND_RANK_PASSWORD',
  username: 'YOUR_RETRIEVE_AND_RANK_USERNAME',
  cluster_id: 'YOUR_RETRIEVE_AND_RANK_CLUSTER_ID',
  collection_name: 'YOUR_RETRIEVE_AND_RANK_COLLECTION_NAME'
)

Get the suggested answers

responses = Watson::RetrieveAndRank.send_message('message')

The response is returned as a JSON array.

Conversation Enhanced

Combination of Conversation API and Retrieve & Rank API. In order to get this class working you need to set both both configurations variables. If the Conversation class detects an unknown message, we call RetrieveAndRank with the intent name of that unknown message, so we need to set that intent name in the constructor of ConversationEnhanced class.

client = Watson::ConversationEnhanced.new('INTENT_NAME')
user_input = nil
until user_input == 'q' || user_input == 'exit'
  print '> '
  user_input = gets.chomp
  return if user_input == 'q' || user_input == 'exit'
  r = client.send_message(user_input)
  puts r
  sleep 0.5
end
