Smart Contract Chatbot Assistant
A Smart Contract Chatbot Assistant is a conversational agent that facilitates the development of smart contracts through interactive dialogue.
- Context:
- It can enable both technical and non-technical users to specify and generate smart contracts in a gradual and interactive manner.
- It can integrate with Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) frameworks to bridge natural language conversations with smart contract specifications.
- It can include components for Modeller Intention Detection, Modelling Specification Mapping, and Model Validation to ensure the generated smart contracts are accurate and effective.
- It can support the generation of smart contracts on multiple blockchain platforms, including Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Azure Blockchain.
- It can (often) involves the use of a domain-specific language (DSL) for mapping user intents to smart contract elements such as contracts, participants, assets, and transactions.
- Example(s):
- iContractBot, a chatbot that assists in the specification and code generation of smart contracts by integrating with the iContractML framework, demonstrating its utility through a vehicle auction use case.
- any chatbot that executes and manages smart contracts in a blockchain environment.

- QUOTE: A Smart Contract Chatbot Assistant represents an innovative blending of blockchain technology with artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in the form of a chatbot. This powerful combination creates an interactive, automated assistant capable of executing or managing smart contracts on blockchain networks. Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code lines. When integrated with a chatbot, these smart contracts can be managed and executed through conversational interfaces, making the process more user-friendly and accessible to individuals without extensive technical knowledge.
This digital assistant can guide users through creating, deploying, or interacting with smart contracts in a variety of sectors, including finance, legal, real estate, and more. By providing step-by-step assistance, answering questions, and even offering advice based on predefined parameters and machine learning insights, the Smart Contract Chatbot Assistant demystifies the process of engaging with blockchain technology. This not only enhances efficiency and reduces the likelihood of errors but also opens up the blockchain ecosystem to a wider audience, promoting greater adoption and understanding of smart contracts and their potential applications.

- QUOTE: (...) we propose iContractBot, a chatbot for modeling and developing smart contracts. Moreover, we investigate how to integrate iContractBot with iContractML, a domain-specific modeling language for developing smart contracts, and instantiate intention models from the chatbot. The iContractBot framework provides a domain-specific language (DSL) based on the user intention and performs model-to-text transformation to generate the smart contract code. A smart contract use case is presented to demonstrate how iContractBot can be utilized for creating models and generating the deployment artifacts for smart contracts based on a simple conversation.
