Description of processes and tools for the development of skills to be subsequently connected to Aura
Introduction
The process for the development of a skill that will be subsequently connected to Aura is different, depending on the type of skill.
In Phase 1, OBs are able to develop skills outside Aura cluster:
-
Using a technology compatible with Microsoft Bot Framework (Direct Line protocol), for example, with Microsoft composer.
-
Third-party bots, defined as bots that are not part of the Microsoft ecosystem. The development of external bots with different technologies for their subsequent integration into Aura includes two main stages that must be carried out by constructors:
- The bot development itself, with the preferred technology (Google Assistant, Teneo, etc).
- The development of a third-party adapter, required for the bot to communicate with Aura Root. This adapter must be able to convert requests to be sent to the external bot, and the other way around with answers.
In this framework, there is an available tool that eases the development and subsequent testing of the skill: aura minigroot. The already existing aura minibot works now jointly with aura minigroot.
