Botshot is a framework for building chatbots in Python. It enables developers to build reliable and smart bots. Its main advantages are that it defines a concrete structure of the conversation and keeps track of the conversation history.
Botshot runs on top of the Django web framework. It is built with scalability in mind, and Celery is used for message processing. For persistence of conversation context, we use Redis. You don't need to know any of these tools, but it's a plus.
If you have never worked in Python, don't worry. It is a very intuitive and easy to learn language. Check out the official beginners guide.
