Chat bots written with code

Not just another chatbot framework

Alana is an integrated environment for developing and hosting chatbots for multiple platforms

Open-Source

Alana is open source to its core, and will always be.

Javascript

Write your bot in pure un-adulterated Javascript. No more drawing boxes or connecting awkward flowcharts.

Develop anywhere

Want to develop online with our web-based IDE?

We got you.

Want to develop locally and upload when you're done?

Go for it!

Our online IDE has rich support for alana with

  • code completion and syntax highlighting
  • logging of each chat execution with log viewer
  • built in chat interface
  • integration with documention
  • many more goodies

Scalable architecture

Don't worry about hosting or scaling, let us take care of all the infrastructure so you can focus on making your bot great.

If you ever want to take your code and host it yourself, you'll always be able to. Our CLI even has a self-host escape hatch built in, then feel free to host on the platform of your choice.

Intent based NLP

Stop matching user's text inputs with fragile regexs

With our open-source NLP engine and open-source intent list you get hundreds of user intents ready to go.

Big companies have the benefit of millions of chats to feed into their NLP engines, putting us indie developers at a disadavantage. We use future chats as a feedback loop, the more bots we have on the platform the more intents and intent examples will be available to all of the bots. Even better, we'll make all this open source so everyone benefits.

All for one and one for all!

Test-first

With integrated, first-class testing built right into the framework, never be surprised when your chat bot fails due to a change.

We can't make testing fun, but we can make it a whole lot easier

Multi-platfrom

Write your bot once and connect it to multiple platforms.

  • Web client on your page
  • Facebook messenger
  • Slack

  • Telegram

Plug-in architecture

Everyone hates reinventing the wheel. Add functionality to your bot with drop-in plugins including:

  • HTTP client
  • Schedulure (cron)
