ChatScript

Even if I'm an happy Ruby developer, I feel that realizing a chatbot - in a specific programming language, - with a standard framework (Rails), - for a specific channel (Messenger), is an ERROR, in the log terms. BTW, I realized naif, my personal micro framework just to build chatbots in Ruby (see slides: https://github.com/solyaris/naif), Nevertheless, I decided to NOT publish the code and no more deepen that "hard-coded" way, instead I suggest to use and support a chatbot scripting (meta)language. About rationales, I wrote a bunch of articles: www.medium.com/@solyarisoftware I support opensource great ChatScript (https://github.com/bwilcox-1234/ChatScript/) and BTW I wrote simple client in Ruby (https://github.com/solyaris/rChatScript/) My two cents giorgio @solyarisoftware

I must mention ChatScript (https://github.com/bwilcox-1234/ChatScript). ChatScript is a programming language that allows you to create bot conversations in text files. You divide your conversations into topics and typically have one file per topic. The system makes good use of Wordnet, and allows rules based on POS tags and Wordnet concepts.
