Rasa Stack

⚠️👷‍♀️ The code is now part of https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa_nlu. Please create any Pull Requests or Issues there. 👷‍♂️⚠️

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.
