Convo

Convo is a specification-based voice and text conversation library.

A Convo application consists of the following components:

1. A mandatory Dialogflow agent which provides various devices and services integration
2. An optional Google Cloud Functions middleware which provides back-end implementation

Architectures

There are three types of Convo application architectures:

A. Static Facts

Convo Static Facts application consists of only a Dialogflow agent where its knowledge comprises of static facts within the agent itself.

Have a look at Convo Thomas for an example of Convo Static Facts application.

B. Freestyle Back-End

Convo Freestyle Back-End application consists of a Dialogflow agent and a Freestyle CloudFunctions middleware where its knowledge is sourced from the business logic implemented within the middleware.

Have a look at Convo Hacker News for an example of Convo Freestyle Back-End application, along with Convo Hacker News Helper which provides the freestyle back-end implementation.

C. OpenAPI Back-End

Convo Freestyle Back-End application consists of a Dialogflow agent and an OpenAPI CloudFunctions middleware where its knowledge is sourced from an external Open API service.

Have a look at Convo Jenkins for an example of Convo OpenAPI Back-End application, along with Convo Jenkins Helper which provides the OpenAPI and Jenkins utilities back-end implementation.

Configuration
