The next step in the evolution of user interfaces is here. Chatbots let your users interact with your service in their own natural language. Use the Ruby programming language and the Lita bot framework to unlock fun and powerful chat abilities such as sending text messages and emails, creating new meme images, driving a robot around the room, and talking out loud on a home speaker.
Use frameworks available in Ruby and Node.js to get started quickly. Create simple chatbot skills that respond quickly to basic requests. Chain skills together for more complex interactions. Take advantage of test-driven development techniques to build your bots with confidence. Connect with external APIs to provide users with data they need. Extract data information from web pages when an API isn’t available. Deploy a chatbot to a host so users can interact with it on their schedule.
Build a more responsive, easy-to-use interface for your users today.
“A fantastic, comprehensive guide to getting started with programming your own Lita chatbot.”
–Jimmy Cuadra, Creator, Lita.io
