Rasa Core is a framework for building conversational software, which includes chatbots on:

  • Facebook Messenger
  • Slack
  • Microsoft Bot Framework
  • Rocket.Chat
  • Mattermost
  • Telegram
  • Twilio

But you can also build assistants using:

  • Alexa Skills
  • Google Home Actions

Rasa Core's primary purpose is to help you build contextual, layered conversations with lots of back-and-forth. To have a real conversation, you need to have some memory and build on things that were said earlier. Rasa Core lets you do that in a scalable way.

There's a lot more background information in this blog post.
