Open Source Frameworks

Building a chatbot can sound daunting, but it’s totally doable. AI Chatbot Framework is an AI powered conversational dialog interface built in Python. With this tool, it’s easy to create Natural Language conversational scenarios with no coding efforts whatsoever. The smooth UI makes it effortless to create and train conversations to the bot and it continuously gets smarter as it learns from conversations it has with people. AI Chatbot Framework can live on any channel of your choice (such as Messenger, Slack etc.) by integrating it’s API with that platform. You don’t need to be an expert at artificial intelligence to create an awesome chatbot that has AI capabilities. With this boilerplate project you can create an AI-powered chatting machine in no time.

Rasa is an open source machine learning framework to automate text-and voice-based conversations. With Rasa, you can build contextual assistants on Facebook Messenger, Slack, Google Hangouts, Webex Teams, Microsoft Bot Framework, Rocket.Chat, Mattermost, Telegram, and Twilio or on your own custom conversational channels. Rasa helps you build contextual assistants capable of having layered conversations with lots of back-and-forths. In order for a human to have a meaningful exchange with a contextual assistant, the assistant needs to be able to use context to build on things that were previously discussed. Rasa enables you to build assistants that can do this in a scalable way. Rasa uses Poetry for packaging and dependency management. If you want to build it from the source, you have to install Poetry first. By default, Poetry will try to use the currently activated Python version to create the virtual environment for the current project automatically.

An open source developer tool for building chat bots, apps and custom integrations for major messaging platforms. Part of the Microsoft Bot Framework. We love bots, and want to make them easy and fun to build! Include Botkit into your Node application and boot up a controller that will define your bot's behaviors. In this case, we're setting up a bot to use with the Bot Framework Emulator. Tell the bot to listen for users saying "hello," and use `bot.reply` to send an immediate response. Start a conversation, then queue up multiple messages to send, including a prompt sent using `convo.ask()` which allows your bot to capture user input and use it. Botkit is just one part of a bigger set of developer tools and SDKs that encompass the Microsoft Bot Framework. The Bot Framework SDK provides the base upon which Botkit is built. It is available in multiple programming languages!

Chatto is a Swift lightweight framework to build chat applications. It's been designed to be extensible and performant. Along with Chatto there is ChattoAdditions, a companion framework which includes cells for messages and an extensible input component. You can find more details about how it was implemented in our blog. Chatto is a Swift framework to ease the development of chat applications. At the UI level, it takes care of managing the UICollectionView where the messages are displayed and provides a placeholder for an input component. Provides support for interactive dismissal of the keyboard and adjusts the insets automatically when it appears. Calculates this layout in a background queue (partially if your sizing routines can be only executed in the main thread). Triggers notifications to the data source to retrieve more messages (pagination). Encourages clean code by decoupling your message's presentation into different presenters.

Claudia Bot Builder helps developers create and deploy chat-bots for various platforms in minutes to AWS Lambda. It simplifies the messaging workflows, automatically sets up the correct web hooks, and guides you through configuration steps, so that you can focus on important business problems and not have to worry about infrastructure code. This code is enough to operate bots for all supported platforms. Claudia Bot Builder automatically parses the incoming messages into a common format, so you can handle it easily. It also automatically packages the response into the correct message template for the requesting bot, so you do not have to worry about individual bot protocols. Claudia Bot Builder doesn't have a stand-alone http server in the background (such as Express, Hapi, etc.), instead it uses API Gateway and it's not trivial to simulate similar environment locally. Deploy it with --version test to create a separate test environment directly in AWS Lambda.

Construct a new Discord client which can be used to access the variety of Discord API functions and to set callback functions for Discord events. The DiscordGo code is fairly well documented at this point and is currently the only documentation available. Go reference (below) presents that information in a nice format. This library and the Discord API are unfinished. Because of that there may be major changes to library in the future.
