The world's first CMS for bots. Easily create, manage and extend chatbots.
Botpress is an open-source bot creation tool written in JavaScript. It is powered by a rich set of open-source modules built by the community. We like to say that Botpress is like the WordPress of Chatbots; anyone can create and reuse other people's modules.

Botpress is on a mission to make useful bots ubiquitous by powering developers with the best possible tools to build & manage chatbots. We believe that in order to create great bots, significant time should be spent on user experience, not on the surrounding (and generic) features.
Botpress requires Node.js (version >= 8.2) and uses npm as package manager.
npm install -g botpress
Creating a bot is simple, you need to run botpress init in a terminal inside an empty directory:
botpress init my-bot
Once your bot is created, you need to run botpress start to start your bot:
botpress start
This will provide you with a web interface available at http://localhost:3000 and a chat window at http://localhost:3000/s/chat
