Golem chatbot framework
This project is no longer maintained. We have moved to Botshot.
Golem is a python framework for building chatbots for Messenger, Telegram and other platforms.
It differs from other bot frameworks by giving a concrete structure to the conversation.
What it can do:
- Receive messages from Messenger and Telegram (Actions on Google coming soon)
- Extract entities from these messages, for example using Wit.ai
- e.g. "Show me the best concert" -> intent: recommend, query: concert
- Keep track of the history of all entity values in the context
- Move between different states of the conversation based on intent and other entities
- Call your functions for each state and send messages and media back to the user
- It supports any language supported by Wit (English is recommended)
- Golem now has its own web GUI for easy testing
What it can NOT do:
- It does not pre-train Wit, you have to do that yourself
- It's not built for AI conversational bots (you can try though :P)
Getting started
Just install the package and run our golm init script that will take care of initial configuration.
pip3 install django-golem
golm init my-bot
cd my-bot && golm start my-botThat's all! A development chat server should now be running at http://localhost:8000.
You may also want to configure NLU, chat integrations and analytics, see the documentation for details.

It's very easy to get started!
