Building with bBot
Alpha Release
bBot alpha is in active development.
We're streamlining our docs and developer tools for writing, deploying and interacting with bBot instances as a matter of priority.
For now, the quickest way to get started is to start a new local project, import bBot and start chatting in the command line.
Quick Start

Create an index.js for a simple hello world chatbot 👋
const bot = require('bbot')
bot.global.text(/say Hello World/, (b) => {
b.respond(`Hello World!`)
})
bot.start()Test interactions by chatting in your terminal 👩💻

Our Sponsors
bBot for Rocket.Chat
Rocket.Chat is our official sponsor. We've worked with their community since the beginning and benefited from their open and collaborative approach. Though bBot is committed to remaining platform independent, developers working with Rocket.Chat will probably encounter the most frictionless experience.

We're an open source project committed to providing the best quality product for our community. We've got a vision to fund growth through support and bespoke solutions for enterprise users. First we need to resource our core offering by partnering with select sponsors. Be part of the future of conversation.
