Say hi to Sara - our Rasa Demo Bot! (alpha)

Sara - The Rasa Demo Bot

Sara currently helps developers getting started with our docs - her code and training data are open source (repo here) to show the inner workings of a contextual AI assistants.

Why we built Sara

Contextual AI assistants are still early days and building one is not always easy. That’s why we open sourced a full example. Sara showcases a few different features of the Rasa Stack:

  • Using Rasa Core and NLU to handle contextual conversations
  • Extracting entities with a CRF and Duckling
  • Slot filling and form actions
  • Training word vectors from scratch with the tensorflow_embedding pipeline
  • Generalising conversations with Rasa Core
  • Connecting Rasa to a webchat on a website

Why Sara doesn’t understand everything you say

The current release is an alpha version, meaning for now she only supports a few user goals and has a small dataset. We strongly believe that to build a great contextual AI assistant you need to learn from real data. Internally, we use Rasa Platform to analyze conversations and improve Sara every day.
