Urban Bot

The universal chatbot library based on React.

Declarative. You don't need to know any messenger API, just write simple react components.
Multiplatform. Write once, launch any messenger.
Reusable. Easy share logic between different chatbots or just use common parts.
Session. App renders unique for every chat, so just write your app as if it is client-side rendering.
Types. Full typescript support.
