#### 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__ these messages using your favorite **NLU** service
- e.g. "Show me the best concert" -> *intent:* recommend, *query:* concert
- __Keep track of the history__ of the conversation *(context)*
- __Move between different states__ of the conversation based on the context
- __Send messages__ and media back to the user
<!-- - It's __language independent__ -->
<!-- - It has a __web chat GUI__ for easy testing -->

## Getting started

Just install the package and run our `bots` init script.
```bash
pip3 install botshot
bots init my-bot
cd my-bot && bots start my-bot
```

That's it! You can now chat with your bot at http://localhost:8000/chat.


You may also want to configure NLU, chat integrations and analytics, see the documentation for details.
