"Bot are the new apps".

Chat and chatbots are the new application paradigm that is replacing mobile and web as the new leading method of engaging your customers and users. Chat lets you engage your customers everywhere, on web, mobile, social media, phone, and on the Internet of things.

Bot Libre lets anyone create a bot for the web, mobile, social media, phone, and the Internet of things. Connect your bot to Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, Skype, Kik, Slack, WeChat, email, SMS, IVR, Alexa, Google Home, and more.

Bot Libre 8 supports rich HTML responses including buttons, links, choices, images, video, and audio. Bot Libre supports HTML responses on the web, mobile, and automatically maps HTML to social media platforms.

Bot Libre bots can be trained using natural language, chat logs, response lists, Twitter feeds, AIML, and scripting. Responses are automatically matched using a heuristic artificial intelligence algorithm and does not require any programming. Responses can also use keywords, topics, required words, labels, repeats, and other meta data.

Bot Libre 8 supports programming and scripting your bot using AIML 2, and Self. Self is our own dialect of JavaScript. Self is an object oriented scripting language, and integrated with an object database. Self extends JavaScript to provide support for natural language processing, state machines, object persistence, and includes a class library for accessing web services and utilities. Self also supports all AIML 2 operations, and some aspects of ChatScript patterns.

Bot Libre 8 is more than just bots, but a complete artificial intelligence platform. Bot Libre lets you create deep learning analytics for image recognition, speech and audio recognition, object detection, prediction and data analysis. You can create and train an image recognition analytic without any programming, just by uploading images. You can then access your analytics through our web API and mobile SDK, or from your bot.
