Overview

The API.AI Objective-C(Cocoa) SDK makes it easy to integrate speech recognition with API.AI natural language processing API on Apple devices. API.AI allows using voice commands and integration with dialog scenarios defined for a particular agent in API.AI.

Prerequsites

• Create an API.AI account
• Install CocoaPods

Running the Demo app

• Run pod update in the ApiAiDemo project folder.

• Open ApiAIDemo.xworkspace in Xcode.

• In ViewController -viewDidLoad insert API key.

  configuration.clientAccessToken = @"YOUR_CLIENT_ACCESS_TOKEN";
  

  Note: an agent in api.ai should exist. Keys could be obtained on the agent's settings page.

• Define sample intents in the agent.

• Run the app in Xcode. Inputs are possible with text and voice (experimental).

Integrating into your app

1. Initialize CocoaPods

• Run pod install in your project folder.

• Update Podfile to include:

  pod 'ApiAI'
  

• Run pod update

2. Init the SDK.

In the AppDelegate.h, add ApiAI.h import and property:

#import <ApiAI/ApiAI.h>

@property(nonatomic, strong) ApiAI *apiAI;

In the AppDelegate.m, add

  self.apiAI = [[ApiAI alloc] init];

  // Define API.AI configuration here.
  id <AIConfiguration> configuration = [[AIDefaultConfiguration alloc] init];
  configuration.clientAccessToken = @"YOUR_CLIENT_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE";

  self.apiAI.configuration = configuration;

3. Perform request.

...
// Request using text (assumes that speech recognition / ASR is done using a third-party library, e.g. AT&T)
AITextRequest *request = [apiai textRequest];
request.query = @[@"hello"];
[request setCompletionBlockSuccess:^(AIRequest *request, id response) {
    // Handle success ...
} failure:^(AIRequest *request, NSError *error) {
    // Handle error ...
}];

[_apiAI enqueue:request];
