4. Like ELIZA but with a rigid keyword syntax and canned
answers
“Hidden” keywords supported also - ie. not revealed to the
user - saying hello, ‘stop’ etc.
Not using Facebook’s wit.ai - own implementation preferred

6. Tips
Testing setup - using a bunch of shell scripts to contact
locally running kooste/bot server which sends messages via
Facebook servers - gist
Understanding user intent, make it a separate module
Add more words/commands for your bot easily - enables
clean and thorough unit testing for expanding vocabulary
