Study Break Buddy

Study Buddy

This bot was influenced by the horrible procrastination habits that have resulted in too many sleepless nights. Essentially this bot would also serve as both a social buddy who emotionally supports the user and offers the user a reprieve from their night. However, I wanted the interaction to be brief so that users could still either go to sleep or resume their studies.

Since the voice of the chatbot is human, I thought it'd be funny to also feature other human parts and to see if how strange it would be to associate other human elements with the chatbot.

To note: I had a little bit of trouble accessing/understanding the parameters for actions. I tried to create a follow-up prompt instead of a follow-up intent that would get the hand-type, but I was confused if I would need an entity for hand (with both "right" and "left hand" as properties) or if I would need two separate right hand and left hand entities to refer to.

Context:

In what context is the person engaging with this bot?
I envisioned this bot to be a buddy to keep someone company during the late hours of a school night. The user would speak to the bot in the late night when if they need a break.
What’s the relationship dynamic between the person and the bot?

I want there to be an amicable relationship between the chatbot and the person - as if the bot is a comforting friend who is available and who doesn't mind being pinged so late.
