OpenDialog - open-source conversational application platform

OpenDialog enables you to quickly design, develop and deploy conversational applications.

You write conversational applications using OpenDialog's flexible conversational language, and define the messages that your bot will send the user through OpenDialog's message markup language.

The OpenDialog webchat widget allows you to interact with the application - it supports both an in-page popup experience as well as a full-page experience and mobile.

For all the details of how OpenDialog helps you build sophisticated conversation applications visit our documentation site.
