Ask HN: Suggestions for chat bot frameworks?
3 comments
It depends what you want to do. If you want to access many chat apps a framework will make your life easier and provide some features such as analytics but at the expense of latency and inability to access any features specific to a particular chat application.
Wit.ai, API.ai etc. are separate services to which you forward your chat responses and they send back a response based NLP training etc.
If you're just doing a prototype, I would limit it to one chat app (eg. FB messenger) and interact directly with their webhook. You can also then add NLP through api.ai etc.

I know someone building a tool with https://api.ai/ integrating with Facebook chat and other APIs. It's been working well from what I hear. I just noticed it's now owned by Google.
Edit: he also just suggested https://wit.ai/ which is now owned by Facebook.

Try out bottr? https://github.com/Bottr-js/Bottr
Has anyone had an experience with these? What are the pros / cons, and which would you recommend?
