Bot developers can choose from a wide variety of toolkits and frameworks—both commercial and open source—to handle everything from messaging to natural language processing. To make sense of that landscape, we’ve asked Amir Shevat, who runs developer relations at Slack, to give an overview of bot development tools from his perspective as a platform manager. He’ll weigh the pros and cons of the popular bot frameworks and describe the strategic decisions that go into building the right bot stack.
