In response to numerous requests, I’ve put together a comprehensive guide on creating an AI ChatBot using Articulate Storyline. This tutorial will walk you through both the frontend and backend setup, enabling you to integrate an interactive ChatBot into your e-learning courses effortlessly.
Preview
Frontend Setup
Follow these steps to set up the frontend of your AI ChatBot:
1.Create a Text Entry for User Input:
- Begin by adding a Text Entry field where users can input their messages. This will serve as the gateway for user interactions with the ChatBot.
2.Add a Send Message Button:
- Incorporate a ‘Send Message’ button to trigger the submission of user queries to the AI ChatBot.
3.Display AI Responses Using TextBot:
- Use TextBot to display AI-generated responses. This component will dynamically showcase the ChatBot’s replies based on user inputs.
4.Include a Button to Download Chat History:
- Enhance user experience by adding a button that allows users to download their ChatBot interaction history for review or reference.
Backend Configuration
Now, let’s configure the backend components necessary for your AI ChatBot:
1.Set Up Text Variables:
- Rename the Text Entry variable to “message” to capture user inputs effectively.
- Create additional variables such as “response”, “role” (defining the ChatBot’s role, e.g., “instructional designer”), “chatHistory”, and “apiKey” to store essential data and manage interactions.
- Generate API Key From: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys and save in your Storyline apiKey variable.
2.Implement JavaScript Triggers:
- On Slide Timeline Start: Use the provided JavaScript code snippet (code link) to initialize the ChatBot functionalities when the slide loads.
- On Send Button Click: Implement JavaScript (code link) to process user inputs and generate AI responses.
- On Download Chat History Button Click: Use JavaScript (code link) to enable users to download their interaction history seamlessly.

Security Considerations
⚠️ Warning: To ensure security, avoid embedding your API key directly within Storyline. Instead, opt for secure server-side methods to protect sensitive data.

Thanks NRZ Malik, this is really good. The only issue I’m having is that the chatbot is answering from the internet and not from a file. I’ve ended up creating an OpenAI Assistant with files in a linked Vector Store that works well – but then the API call doesn’t use it fromStoryline and reverts to random internet answers. What am I missing?
I had this issue time ago, and was able to deverted fine tuning the ‘role’s prompt.If does make any sense.

How can you create an AI ChatBot using Articulate Storyline, and what are the steps for setting up both the frontend and backend?
I am attempting to teach chatgpt via the Fine-tuning process to learn via my .jsonl file. I am testing through articulate and don’t see the responses I expected. The subscripton and tier is fine. I do only receive responses which are internet based.
