Hello Product Hunt.
Thank you @edvinsantonovs for hunting this.
I'm the creator of Bottr which we aim to be the simplest framework for creating user facing bots. We already integrate into Twilio and Facebook with additional integrations for Twitter, Mobile and Desktop apps coming soon.
We believe that bots are the future and that we need a easy to use framework to harness this new technology.
Bottr handles things like read indicators, simulating typing, context management and handling attachments so you don't have to.
We also want to build an ecosystem of components around this Bot which will help make it easier to build your bots with functionality built by the community.
We launched our first preview of this framework along with some examples.
If you have any feedback, we would love to hear from you at james@bottr.co

@jcampbell_05@edvinsantonovs@bottr Hey James, Bottr looks like a really cool framework but the documentation doesn't contain anything related to displaying cards, gallery, twilio integration, responding back to certain keywords etc. Or am i missing out on anything?
@istereotype@edvinsantonovs@bottr You're right, that is totally our fault we dropped the ball on that. We do support those and we have Bots that already work with Twillio and Facebook Cards. I'll make sure to get those updated today. If you wanted to contribute anything than that would be awesome too!
@jcampbell_05@edvinsantonovs@bottr I would love to contribute, If you feel there's anything in specific that bottr needs right now, feel free. Or i would love to add to the platform itself when i have time over this weekend. Even though I am sure you have already done a job good enough on it :)
Is this botkit for Facebook? Seems quite similar just for the different platform. The idea is good if you can integrate and support multiple platforms and their changing APIs & ofc keep it updated. Good luck!
@ravsydney Chatfuel is great for those wanting to building something using a visual interface quick and easily. This is for those wanting to build something custom using code, a lot of businesses I've spoke to would love to be able to host a Bot on their own server but don't want the burden of having to build a framework to handle the conversation.
Lots of great creativity in the bot space. As huge proponents for dynamic conversations between businesses and customers we think this will add many interesting channels very soon. We'll have to explore some of this ourselves as well. Great job @jcampbell_05@edvinsantonovs!
