It's a good start :)

I've noticed people try to start out with NLP + machine learning when creating a bot, got any plans for that?

Thanks! One of the reasons I made this is to lower the entry barrier in the world of open source. If we get good contributions, I'll definitely want to include NLP / ML.

I'm looking into wit.ai to parse natural language. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Shifted to NLP :)

I saw, it looks great :)

I've never used wit.ai, can you give me a rundown of how it works? I usually use spacy.io, where it instantiates an NLP on your local machine.

PS: Should your config.py have the access token?

wit.ai is easy to use. You provide some example queries and manually classify training data. Now, every query you give to it returns probabilities of the categories it may belong to. Rinse and repeat. It provides two tokens; I've included the client side token. :)
