• How to present Custom AIChatbot view controller directly

Guide & Code Snippets

Before we get started, it's important to note that the AI Chatbot is also part of the GroupChannel, which makes it easier to customize.

Step 1. Create your custom Channel View Controller class that subclasses [SBUGroupChannelViewController]

class CustomChannelViewController: SBUGroupChannelViewController {
    // Override methods if needed
}

Step 2. Override the view controller methods if needed.

Quickstart's customization sample code can be used to customize various parts of the code.

Step 3. Present your view controller directly.

    let params = GroupChannelCreateParams()
    params.userIds = [botId]
    params.isDistinct = isDistinct
    
    GroupChannel.createChannel(params: params) { channel, error in
        if let error = error { return }
        
        guard let channel = channel else { return }
        
        let vc = CustomChannelViewController(channel: channel) // or SBUGroupChannelViewController
        let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc)
        yourVc.present(nav, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
