Just.Chat-a platform for processing information to be used in chatbots

The number of chatbots that can be found in the web increases everyday and, alongside these, the amount of resources which can be used to build new chatbots. In this paper we target to create a platform, Just.Chat, that helps in the creation of chatbot’s knowledge bases by using available chatbot’s interactions, which are automatically processed by three filters. The first filter discards interactions overlapping others previously scripted; the second filter is responsible for identifying personal questions; finally, the third filter deals with interactions containing unwanted terms or topics. All these filters are individually evaluated, as well as Just.Chat, which is used to enrich the knowledge base of Edgar, a butler that has Monserrate’s palace as its field of expertise.
