Botpress is an open-source bot creation tool written in Javascript. It is powered by a rich set of open-source (and proprietary) modules built by the community. Botpress is on a mission to make bots ubiquitous and profitable for everybody.
Botpress requires node (version >= 4.2) and uses npm as package manager.
npm install -g botpress
Creating a bot is simple, simply run botpress init inside an empty directory:
mkdir my-bot && cd my-bot
botpress init
Once your bot is created, you may start it:
botpress start
This will provide you with a web interface available at http://localhost:3000
You then need to install some modules. You can do so directly in the web interface, or using the botpress install CLI command:
botpress install messenger
For a more detailed usage guide, please read the Getting Started Guide.
There's a video on YouTube that shows how to create a Hello World Messenger Bot in under 45 seconds.

Botpress is dual-licensed under AGPLv3 and the Botpress Proprietary License.
