Reflection

The whole process for this project was exhausting but extremely rewarding. I was able to achieve pulling in text and images from a folder and randomizing the inputs(color, image+image label) and compositing an image metaphor. I also feel satisfied with how I was able to bake it in smoothly with the conversation flow.

Future work—

• Smoothen out conversation flow: Currently, the interaction works smoothly for the first interaction but I need to set-up the session variable to clear out once the conversation is over.
• Allow for the bot to handle different kinds of responses using dialog flow
• Connect with a database to allow to record user responses on the metaphors which can be used for further research. 
• Users may not always intentionally engage with the bot so I may want to add scheduled tasks to keep users engaged.
• I also want to explore what form could it take on other platforms like Alexa show and perhaps integrating with dribbble.
