Behind every front-end there is a back-end. My WISPL.COM chatbot<\/a> is no exception. It’s one thing to provide a nice chatbot experience to my select users. It’s another thing to be able to manage the system efficiently.<\/p>\n

Sure, I can, and do, management tasks directly in the database, using SQL commands. But it’s inelegant and inconvenient. And just because I am the only admin does not mean I cannot make my own life easier by creating a more streamlined management experience.<\/p>\n

Take announcements. The WISPL chatbot operates in four languages. Creating an announcement entails writing it in a primary language, translating it into three other languages, and the posting the requisite records to the database. Doing it by hand is not hard, but a chore.<\/p>\n

Note the highlighted Translate<\/strong> button. It sends the English-language text to a local copy of Gemma, Google’s open-weights LLM. Gemma is small but very capable. Among other things, it can produce near flawless translations into, never mind German or French, even Hungarian.<\/p>\n
