xatkit VS Foundation

While we wait for these tools to pop up, any tech question on the internals of Xatkit you'd like to know? And if you want to read more about the technologies we have listed above, this twitter thread gives some pointers to good tutorials for them:

(obviously) Create your own chatbots (pairing it up with Xatkit or any other chatbot platform for all the front-end and behaviour processing components)

The easiest part is to create the chatbot. We'll obviously use Xatkit for this. The bot can have as many intents as you wish. The only part that we care about here is the default fallback state. Here, instead of saying something useless, e.g. "sorry I didn't get your question, can you rephrase it and try again?", we will ask Haystack to find us a solution.

Take a look at Xatkit (https://github.com/xatkit-bot-platform/xatkit). It's an open source chatbot development platform and very easy to deploy on your own premises as the bot is compiled into a single .jar.

But, IMHO, many business owners do not really want to create a bot by themselves, no matter how easy is the chatbot development interface. They want to give you the data (whatever type of data they already have, e.g. an excel file with collected questions) and get a bot out of it. This is way at Xatkit we're now providing this type of "chatbot automatic generation services"

There are ML libraries available for every language. So there is always a way to execute/train your neural networks outside the python world. For instance, in Xatkit, we reuse Stanfords' Core NLP models in some of our language processors. And, if needed, there is always the option to wrap the ML models code in a Python server (I like the simplicity of Flask for this) and consume them via API calls to this server.

We have recently launched Xatkit, a pretrained chatbot for eCommerce. The reception so far has been lukewarm and we wonder whether:

Interested to give it a try? For FREE during the next two months? Visit: https://xatkit.com/ (and pls redistribute to your colleagues if you know anybody that could be interested, thanks!)

But this doesn't mean your no-code tool needs to stick to one specific category. As we do in Xatkit, you can offer different interfaces/importers on top of the same engine. You can even offer a low-code version for advanced users willing to use your tool's API to complement the result of the no-code approach.

Foundation is another popular open-source front-end framework, similar to Bootstrap, but with its own set of features and design principles. It was created by ZURB a design and development company in 2011. and is also maintained by a community of developers.

2. Foundation

Just when we thought we'd seen it all, giants like Twitter Bootstrap, Foundation, and Bulma entered the scene. They made development quick and ensured consistent styling, but the flip side? Websites began feeling a bit too...uniform.

Foundation is also easy to use since no one has mentioned it. Copy and paste, tons of templates ready to go. https://get.foundation/

Download the source files manually: You can download the source files by visiting https://get.foundation and clicking on "Download Foundation 6", which automatically downloads the CSS and JavaScript. Once you extract the Zip file, you can start creating excellent projects with Foundation.

Foundation The most advanced responsive front-end framework in the world. Foundation is a family of responsive front-end frameworks that make it easy to design beautiful responsive websites, apps and emails that look amazing on any device.(From their official website).Foundation is used by big organizations such as; Disney, Samsung, Adobe, National Geographic, e.t.c

I was definitely not a "full stack developer" on day one, or year one, two or three. At least I didn't call myself one for a long time. For one thing, the term "full stack developer" wasn't popular at the time. But as JavaScript libraries (jQuery) and frameworks (Angular, React) became common place in the industry, and CSS libraries (Bootstrap, Foundation) replaced writing your stylesheets by hand, there became demand to be capable in both the front-end and back-end of an application.

If you decide to go the second route, just focus on a front end framework and mock out an API with something like Postman (much like you'd mock one out for a unit test). You will deeeefinitely need to know not only Javascript, but the ecosystem that comes along with it (Node, npm, maybe Jest or Typescript). You will also need to know CSS, and possibly a UI framework like Bootstrap or Foundation.

Whoa. Last I looked, Foundation was a project in flux. Glad to see it seeing more activity lately.
