Abstract :
Artificial intelligence chatbot is a technology that makes interaction between man and machine using natural language possible. In this paper, we proposed the architectural design of virtual dietition (ViDi), a chatbot that will function as virtual dietitian for diabetic patients. A general a history of a chatbot, a brief description of each chatbots is discussed. We proposed the use of new technique that will be implemented in ViDi as the key component to function as virtual dietitian. In architectural design of ViDi, Vpath is used to remember the conversation path. The architectural design will allow chatbot ViDi to response to the whole conversation as it specifically designed to be a virtual dietitian.
