How to make my chatbot display images
  
 
Posted: Sep 17, 2016

I am managing 3 chatbots at the moment. It’d be great to know how to make an image display screen to the chat. Thanks!

I have looked into this a little last year.  I was working with Chatscript.

See this thread:
https://www.chatbots.org/ai_zone/viewthread/2173/

There is an example I made on Github of how out of band (OOB) commands issued by your CS chatbot can tell the web client what avatar image to display.

Pandorabots used to let you customize your own html page and I had an example posted there showing an avatar image with different emotional expressions controlled by the chatbot.  They have removed the custom html functionality.  You need to create your own website and webclient and then call the Pandorabot using their api and then write your own code in the web client to handle the display of messages and images.  I suppose you could modify the front end sample above to work with Pandorabots.

I believe Rivescript provides for animated avatars but I have not looked into them.

Most chatbot utilities are implemented as SAAS or as servers or APIs that require you to write the front end.  The front end application would be your software client or website where you would handle the account login and verification, store account info, and handle the presentation of the chatbot output and presentation of any avatar image or animation.
