Botshot Chatbot Framework

Botshot is a Python/Django framework for building stateful chatbots and conversational interfaces.

With Botshot, you can build complex chatbots that remember past conversations.

Botshot can:

• Receive messages from Messenger, Telegram or Amazon Alexa (more platforms coming soon)
• Understand and parse messages using a NLU service
  • e.g. "Show me the best concert" -> intent: recommend, query: concert
• Manage the dialogue and move between the conversation's states
• Keep track of the context and history of the conversation
• Send messages and media back to the user
• Send proactive messages and notifications
• Connect to 3rd party APIs and analytics

Getting started

Just install the package and run the bots script. You will also need the Redis database.

sudo apt install redis-server
pip3 install botshot
bots init my_bot && cd my_bot
bots start

That's it! Now open http://127.0.0.1:8000/chat and chat with your bot.

You may also want to add some actual content, so check the docs ;-)
