DialBB comes with two sample frontends for accessing the Web API.

You can access it at the following URL.

http://<host>:<port>

This frontend displays system and user utterances as speech bubbles.

It cannot send aux_data, and it does not display response fields other than the system utterance.

You can access it at the following URL.

http://<host>:<port>/test

This frontend displays system and user utterances in a list format.

It can send aux_data, and it also displays the aux_data included in the response.

Clone the GitHub repository. Let the cloned directory be <DialBB directory>.

git clone git@github.com:c4a-ri/dialbb.git <DialBB directory>

Install the dependencies with uv. This also installs DialBB in editable mode, so changes to the source code are reflected immediately.

cd <DialBB directory>
uv sync

When starting DialBB, run it with uv run.

uv run dialbb-server [--port <port>] <config file>

You can also start it by specifying the Python file directly. This is useful when using an IDE such as PyCharm or VS Code.

uv run python <DialBB directory>/run_server.py [--port <port>] <config file>
