Integrating the Assistant

This page is to detail the process of integrating the Conva.AI assistant to an app.

Conva.AI supports SDKs for the following platforms

• Android

• Python

• iOS

• Flutter

Integration Modes

There are two ways in which you can add the Conva.AI assistant to your app.

Headless Mode

Integrating the Conva.AI Assistant in Headless mode allows your app to fully control the user interface while using the Assistant's core features. This approach enables direct API calls, response handling, and custom actions, giving you the flexibility to tailor interactions to your specific needs.

Ideal for developers who prefer a custom UI, Headless mode also supports multiple parallel conversations through the Assistant’s Conversational Context feature, offering endless possibilities for personalized user engagement.

Copilot Mode

The Copilot UI is only supported on mobile platforms, currently limited to Android.

If you want to use the Conva.AI Assistant in all its glory, we recommend using the Copilot experience that comes built in.

Conva.AI Copilot experience

The Copilot experience includes a well designed bottom sheet that appears on top of the app and provides the following elements:

• Text box: For users to type their queries.

• Mic icon: To trigger Conva.AI's highly accurate speech recognition feature

• Message Area: Displays the message (the message field in the Response object)

• Voice Feedback: Speak back the message, can be optionally muted by the user

• Mute icon: To allow end-users to enable or disable the voice feedback

• Feedback Icons: Automatically appear after each response.

• Dynamic Suggestions: Buttons showing related queries (the related_queries field in the Response object) or custom suggestions provided by the app via an API.

Here are the high level steps to use the Copilot:

• Setup the Copilot.

  • Theme the Copilot

  • Register handlers for Capability handling and Suggestion handling

    • Capability Handling: Handle responses generated by the Copilot

    • Suggestion Handling: Handle user interactions with suggestion buttons directed to the app

• Attach the Copilot to an Activity

• Start the Copilot

• Handle the Capabilities and Suggestion clicks
