Build chatbots and conversational experiences using React

What it solves

Botonic is a full-stack framework designed to simplify the creation of chatbots and conversational applications. It removes the need for developers to manually handle multiple messaging API integrations, complex AI/NLP setups, and the scaling of infrastructure.

How it works

Built on React, Serverless, and Tensorflow.js, the framework provides a unified way to build bots that can be deployed across various platforms including WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Twitter DMs, websites, and mobile apps. It uses a plugin system to integrate with NLU (Natural Language Understanding) services like Dialogflow, Watson, and Luis, as well as CMS and analytics tools.

Who it’s for

Developers who want to build and deploy conversational apps across multiple messaging platforms without managing the underlying infrastructure or API complexities.

Highlights

  • Full-stack framework based on React and Serverless.
  • Multi-platform support for popular messaging apps and Twitter DMs.
  • Plugin ecosystem for NLU services (Dialogflow, Watson, Luis, Inbenta) and CMS (Contentful, Sanity).
  • Integrated CLI for creating, serving, and deploying bots.
