Update Jun 24, 2018

Hi all, Wechaty Alpha Tester List current has 11 developers before we stepped into the new developing version v0.17. We will continue accepting alpha tester application until the list reaches to 17 testers. After that, we will queue all the new requests, and start our qualification program to measure the alpha testers every week. If a tester cannot meet the requirement of our qualification program, they will be removed from the alpha tester list, and then we will be able to accept the new application from the queue again.

Introduce Yourself(who you are): founder of Canadian Startup in AI, Mobile, and Cloud Service.

Explain the Problem You Want to Solve:(what you do): Conversational UI in general. WeChat is one platform we can't ignore. WebPuppet has many limitations and quite problematic. I am excited to see other form of puppets becoming available!

PS: is there an option to self host padchat? my client would like to avoid the risk of relying on young third party service providers, so they prefer to have my team build infrastructure and operate the cloud service.

[huan]

@alamusi Thanks for the application, and I'm glad to know that you are an entrepreneur with AI and ChatBot! I had added your Wechat and please accept so that I can invite you to the Alpha Tester room, and we will discuss the future steps over there.

For your question: is there an option to self-host padchat, the short answer is: YES

The long answer: Wechaty did not provide the iPad Protocol by itself, it only provides an Abstract Puppet Interface to connect to the iPad Protocol, which means we have to have a service provider for it.

At the same time, it is possible to have a private deploy of that. From our current alpha stage testing, we will focus on pushing the Puppet code from alpha to beta. For long-term, I'd like to suggest you talk with @lijiarui in business, she is the founder of BotOrange, and BotOrange is a Beijing Startup in AI and Chatbot.

@jlisbz Welcome, please check your email for the next steps of the application.

[shitiven]

Is anybody here to deal with above requests?

[huan]

@shitiven Sorry for no response for the applications for so many days.

The padchat token is distributed by the BotOrange company, if you want to get a quick response, it will be a good idea to @lijiarui or pm her on Wechat for asking about the progress of your application.

However, as far as I know, the Alpha Testing will be end soon, and currently, there had already been lots of the developers who had switched to the Beta & Production, which required to subscribe a paid plan from BotOrange.

And also we are planning to close this Alpha Apply Form soon.

Hope the above information helps you, please feel free to let me know if you have more questions.
