We have been working on our open source chatbot platform Botfront for about 2 years now, and here is why:
We see many bot projects stuck at the proof of concept level. A recurring problem is writing good specs for conversations is harder than it looks. The back and forth between designers, copywriters, and developers is overwhelming, and projects get postponed or canceled.
We believe we can fix that by letting designers and copywriters design and implement conversation flows, and developers write code that enriches the conversation context (instead of just coding the flow). And we wanted to make it work with Rasa, our favorite open source conversational AI library.
We save an incredible amount of time with Botfront on every project, and we hope that it will help other teams to iterate faster and flood the world with useful bots capable of meaningful conversations.
