Bixby Earthquake Finder Sample Capsule

Overview

This capsule allows users to search for earthquakes around the globe based on various search criteria such as geographic location, date-time, minimum magnitude, event type, among others.

How to customize

• This capsule and the companion blog describes the features of Bixby’s conversational interaction model, including:
  1. Value prompts for required inputs or selection prompts for disambiguation of multiple inputs
  2. Default initialization to prevent unnecessary user prompting for required inputs
  3. Replacement functionality for single cardinal inputs
  4. Handling of multi-cardinal inputs in either JavaScript or modeling using iterable
  5. Relaxation to remove search constraints when an empty list of results is returned by either dropping inputs or replacing inputs with less-restrictive ones
• Change the capsule id to reflect your organization and your content. The capsule id is defined in the capsule.bxb file.
