#### 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__ and parse messages using a **NLU** service

  - e.g. "Show me the best concert" -> *intent:* recommend, *query:* concert

- __Manage the dialogue__ and move between the conversation's states

- __Keep track of the context__ and history of the conversation

- __Send messages__ and media back to the user

- __Send proactive messages__ and notifications

- __Connect__ to 3rd party APIs and analytics

## Getting started

Just install the package and run the `bots` script. You will also need the Redis database.

```bash

sudo apt install redis-server

pip3 install botshot

bots init my_bot && cd my_bot

bots start

```

That's it! Now open http://127.0.0.1:8000/chat and chat with your bot.

You may also want to add some actual content, so check the docs ;-)
