Cosibot – Covid Stay Informed Bot is a non-profit initiative developed by ROBO.AI to provide citizens around the world with credible and up-to-date information on Coronavirus, using different sources and making it available in a single application.

This is the international version, available in English and Brazilian Portuguese.

You can add the Cosibot Corona Virus Chatbot as a popup to your website. It is straightforward and it can be done in just three simple steps:

1. Ask for an API key
2. Ask your web developer to add the code snippet to your website - you can choose to add the International version or one of the Country bots available.

<script src="https://cdn.cosibot.org/widget/cosibot.js"></script>
<script>
var config = {
   bot: 'covid-int-en',
   key: '<Your API key>',
   language: 'en'
}
Cosibot.init(config);
</script>

3. Ta-da, The Cosibot is there. Tell the world about it!

Because this is a multi-language bot, it is structured as follows:

└── __init__.py

To add a new language, add a new folder with the language code and the specific config.yml, domain.yml, nlu.md and lookup tables files. You can also create stories for a specific bot. For that you just need to add a stories file inside the bot data folder (i.e. bot/languages/en/data/).

If you want to train the bot to test it locally, you can do it by running the following command (inside the bot folder):

rasa train --config languages/en/config.yml --domain languages/en/domain.yml
           --data languages/en/data languages/stories.md
           --out languages/en/models --fixed-model-name model-en

Note: you can replace 'en' with another language code as long as it's implemented in the bot.

To interact with the bot locally you can run:

rasa run actions

rasa shell --model languages/en/models/model-en.tar.gz
