Description

Jackson is a chatbot that helps find historical facts about black people. It is named after Mary W. Jackson, the first African American female engineer at NASA.

Jackson is built with Rasa, the open source machine learning framework that automates text-and voice-based conversations. Jackson uses the Black History API, which documents achievements and facts about black people, past and present.

Jackson uses a simple keyword search.

Dependencies

Python 3.8.6

Jackson requires:

pip install rasa-sdk
pip install pattern

To run

To enable api calls to the Black History API you will need to sign-up for an api key from the Black History API, then add this key to a new file in the home directory named bha_credentials.py

API_KEY = 'XXXXXXXXXXXX'

To talk to Jackson on the command line, start the Rasa Action Server in one terminal window:

rasa run actions

Then in a new terminal window run rasa shell, and follow the prompts.
