This repo contains sample code for a tutorial that covers advanced features of the Bixby platform. See the tutorial here
The tutorial shows users how to create a Bixby capsule that can answer questions about world countries using a free remote service called REST Countries, which provides country information through a JSON API.
The tutorial teaches the following key concepts:
- Fetch data from API calls in your actions
- Add continuations, flags, and routes to your Natural Language training
- Use complex macros and Expression Language constructions
To get started, download this repo. There are two capsules in this repo:
capsule-sample-country-info-initial: starter/initial capsule codecapsule-sample-country-info-full: fully functional capsule
You should then open either of the capsules in Bixby Studio. The suggested first capsule you open and the one the tutorial starts with is: capsule-sample-country-info-initial
You can then launch the simulator and type:
start
The capsule will then prompt you for a country name, you can either type it in, speak it (using the microphone icon) or enter it into the simulators form field.
The capsule will then present you with information about the country. Alternatively you can try utterances which ask for a country directly e.g.:
tell me about switzerland
In the full capsule, you can do things like this:
What is the population of France
After the answer is given, try:
What is the capital
This will give you the capital of France. If you then ask:
What about Portugal
The capsule will give you the capital of Portugal. You could then ask:
Tell me about Canada
Which would give you full information about Canada.
This latter functionality used more advanced training including continuations, flags and routes and advanced views and usage of macros in views (using EL e.g. Bixby Expression Language)
