My Chatbot for this blog

Certainly! To help you create a **chatbot in Ruby** for interacting with a site like **revoltvideo.blogspot.ie**, let's clarify a few things: - **Ruby** is a backend language. For a chatbot, you typically want a web server that receives messages (from a user interface or chat widget) and responds. - **Blogger/Blogspot** sites like *revoltvideo.blogspot.ie* usually do **not** support custom server-side code, so you can't run Ruby code directly on the site itself. - However, you **can** build a Ruby backend (for example, using Sinatra), then use JavaScript to connect your blog to your Ruby backend via AJAX calls. ### Step 1: Ruby Chatbot Backend (Sinatra Example) First, let's make a simple chatbot using [Sinatra](http://sinatrarb.com/): ```ruby # chatbot_server.rb require 'sinatra' require 'json' # Simple rule-based chatbot logic def chatbot_response(message) case message.downcase when /hello|hi|hey/ "Hello! How can I help you with Revolt Video?" when /video/ "Looking for videos? Check out the latest posts!" when /help/ "I'm here to assist. Ask me about videos, posts, or anything on this site." else "Sorry, I don't understand. Can you rephrase?" end end post '/chat' do content_type :json data = JSON.parse(request.body.read) user_message = data["message"] || "" { reply: chatbot_response(user_message) }.to_json end get '/' do "Chatbot server is running." end ``` **To run:** ```sh gem install sinatra ruby chatbot_server.rb ``` This will start a server (default at `http://localhost:4567`). --- ### Step 2: Frontend Integration (on Blogspot) Since Blogspot doesn't allow you to run Ruby code, you'll need to use **JavaScript** to send requests from your blog's HTML/JS to your Ruby backend. **Example HTML/JS snippet to add to your blog's sidebar or post:** ```html
``` **Replace** `YOUR-RUBY-SERVER-IP` with your actual server address (publicly accessible if you want users to chat). --- ### Notes - This is a **minimal example**; for production, handle CORS, security, error checking, etc. - You can expand `chatbot_response` for more advanced logic or use a gem like [rasa](https://rasa.com/) or integrate with GPT APIs. - If you want a more advanced chat UI, consider using a chat widget library and posting to your Ruby backend. --- **Summary:** - You can't run Ruby on Blogspot directly, but you can build a Ruby chatbot API and connect your blog to it using JavaScript. If you want a more advanced bot or need help deploying the Ruby server, let me know!
