Being a bit bored and wracked with philosophical questions today, I felt in need of entertainment; I invested thirty minutes of my time today in building Yo-gi - a bot that channels its inner Yoda to dispense wisdom from the Gita (an Indian treatise on life philosophy and purpose).
Imagine a world where you can talk to any information source.
If you have a legal question, directly ask the constitution.
Ask the body of market research files to find out what consumers feel about your products.
Wish you knew the answer to that difficult question and can’t be bothered to read? - just ask your PDF
To get advice based on your deceased great-grandparents' views, chat with the consolidated body of all their writings and letters throughout their lives.
The possibilities are endless.
This world exists today.
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, artificial intelligence (A.I.) tools, particularly chatbots, have become essential for businesses looking to enhance customer engagement, streamline operations, and provide immediate support. Chatbots leverage A.I. to simulate human conversations, making them invaluable assets for businesses of all sizes.
While A.I.s like Chatgpt leverage a chat function, they are general-purpose chatbots that require additional work and finetuning to be instantly usable in use cases that require training and detailed integrations with corporate databases and operations. Many A.I. tools are built on top of these to provide this functionality, speed and convenience.
In this post, I will delve into the world of these A.I. chatbots through the lens of six powerful tools: Zapier, ChatSonic, Droxy, ChatSimple, and Chatbase.
Understanding Chatbots: The Basics
Chatbots are AI-driven programs designed to interact with users through text or voice conversations.

Case Study: Creating the Yo-Gi Bot in thirty minutes
To illustrate the power and versatility of A.I. chatbots, let's dive into today’s personal project – the creation of the Yo-Gi Bot. This chatbot uses Yoda's distinctive voice from Star Wars to provide insights based on the Bhagavad Gita. The bot, available at www.yo-gi.ai, was built in just thirty minutes using Zapier, showcasing how quickly and effectively you can develop your chatbots.
Step 1: Defining the Purpose
The first step was to define the purpose of the Yo-Gi Bot. The goal was to create a unique and engaging chatbot that would provide wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita in Yoda's voice. I intended to make the chatbot entertaining and insightful by using this combination. I could, of course, have chosen any combination - e.g. The voice of Donald Trump explaining the theory of relativity based on the works of Richard Feynman.
Step 2: Choosing the Platform
For this project, I chose Zapier due to its versatile automation capabilities and ease of integration with various NLP tools. Zapier's flexibility allowed for the customization needed to capture Yoda's unique speech patterns and structure responses accordingly.
Step 3: Developing the Content
The next step involved developing the content. I uploaded a copy of the Bhagavad Gita for the bot to read and then gave it specific instructions and prompts in a few paragraphs. DM me if you want to see the prompts.
Step 4: Building the Bot
Using prompt engineering, I programmed Zapier to convert standard text into Yodaisms where relevant automatically. The integration process was streamlined with Zapier's user-friendly interface, enabling quick setup.
Step 5: Testing and Refining
Once the initial version was ready, the Yo-Gi Bot underwent testing. I analyzed the Interactions to ensure the bot responded correctly and maintained Yoda's voice. I refined issues or awkward responses to improve the user experience.
Step 6: Deployment
After testing, I deployed the Yo-Gi Bot on www.yo-gi.ai. Users could now interact with the bot, receiving wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita in a fun and engaging way. (More on how to build a website in 1 minute in a subsequent post)
Step 7: Next steps
I intend to upgrade the bot by connecting it to a Metahuman. Once done, users can talk to a photorealistic Yoda on their phone in voice and have these conversations live, in real time. (More on how to use A. I tools to link with metahumans in a future post)
Conclusion
The world of A.I. chatbots is vast and full of potential. Tools like Zapier, ChatSonic, Droxy, ChatBase, ChatSimple, and Simplest provide businesses with the means to create powerful, engaging, and efficient chatbots tailored to their needs. The case study of the Yo-Gi Bot demonstrates how quickly and effectively anyone with zero coding ability can use these tools to create unique and impactful chatbots.
As businesses continue to explore and implement these technologies, the possibilities for enhancing customer engagement, streamlining operations, and providing immediate support are virtually limitless. By leveraging the power of A.I. chatbots, businesses can stay ahead in the competitive landscape, providing exceptional service and customer experiences.
Homework:
So, what bot will you create today? A textbook, a manual? your company's operating model? a religious text?
or
just your own personal [insert your name].bot to automate your company emails by learning from the sum total of your historical emails to help you with the recommendations of the time mastery framework?
As always, I appreciate your comments and thoughts
Forwards:
Please forward the bot (www.yo-gi.ai) or the Q.R. code to anyone interested.
Your likes and forwards are important to me so I can reach more people and help them prepare for a world where A.I. will make all the difference. Please share this post liberally!
Note: While I am not personally religious, I find the Gita to be a wonderful source of wisdom - I chose to use the Gita as the source of the bot because of familiarity. And Yoda is the voice because who else has the gravitas, as well as the philosophical chops to pull this off?
