rasa/rasa_core repository overview

⁠Rasa Core

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.
