That's awesome! What are the differences between BotPress and BotKit?

slvnperron3• 10 years ago

hey, thanks for your question! Botkit is mainly a conversation management framework. Botpress provides developers everything around bots development via modules.

For example you can build a subscription list, schedule messages, send broadcasts, have analytics, do A/B testing, have a built-in management interface, password protection etc. In fact, Botpress works very well in harmony with Botkit.

I would call it a complete framework (Botpress) vs a single library (Botkit)

Make sense!

What are your plans regarding support for NLP and NLU?

slvnperron3• 10 years ago

There's a module for Wit.AI and this morning we're also pushing a new module for API.AI

Cool, you should take a look at rasa_nlu (https://github.com/golastmile/rasa_nlu) as well, it's an open-source NLU solution.

Why would I use this versus the other frameworks out there?

I didn't look into the product itself, but the idea is absolutely genius.

You should build an 'app store' for bots, just like https://wordpress.org/plugins/.
