nlp.js VS Leon

We'll use the "natural" NLP library; follow the previous session to understand how to set up your environment.

Several NLP libraries are available, each offering distinct features and functionalities. One popular choice in the JavaScript ecosystem is the Natural Language Toolkit for JavaScript (NLP.js), which provides a wide range of NLP capabilities.

For a JS based approach you could try NLP libraries like this one: https://github.com/axa-group/nlp.js

To determine which chatbot intent is the best match for the user textual input, we rely on nlp.js (in JS) though we are in the process of moving to our new Python NLP server for better optimization of the needs of eCommerce conversations. A preprocessor language model is also used to improve the chances of a matching.

Probably not. In fact, in Xatkit we aim to be a chatbot orchestration platform exactly to avoid reinventing the wheel and the non-invented here syndrome. So, in most cases, other existing platform (like DialogFlow or nlp.js) will work just fine. But we have also realized that there are always some particularly tricky bots for which you really need to be able to customize your engine to the specific chatbot semantics to get the results you want.

Also, if security is so important, you may want to configure Xatkit to work with nlp.js (see our wiki for instructions( so that even the intent matching part is done locally without sending the input text to the cloud (as it would happen if you decide to use, for instance, a NLP engine such as DialogFlowx)

Since the previous release, NLP.js pushed a lot of work and has released a major version, moving from a monolithic library to multiple independent packages. So I spent some time to make Leon's NLP compatible to the latest changes.

It's indeed suspicious. You're sending your voice samples, your various services accounts, your location and more private data to some proprietary black box in some public cloud. Sorry, but this is a privacy nightmare. It should be open source and self-hosted like Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai) or Leon (https://getleon.ai) to be trustworthy.

I literally had this thought a couple of days ago and went down a small rabbit hole looking into it too! There's some stuff out there (I saw Mycroft and Coqui mentioned in the comments already, also check out Leon, Jarvis, and OA although not sure they all deploy to Linux) but ultimately, I just don't think the tech is there yet.

Mycroft is pretty decent and there are a few other similar open source projects if you're interested (https://github.com/MycroftAI, https://github.com/leon-ai/leon)

Take a look at Leon I'm not sure it's what you're looking for but it look pretty awesome.

Leon is an open-source personal assistant who can live on your server. He does stuff when you ask him to. You can talk to him and he can talk to you. You can also text him and he can also text you. If you want to, Leon can communicate with you by being offline to protect your privacy.

There is also Leon - https://getleon.ai. But I’m not using any of the self hosted yet.
