Rasa Core is a framework for building conversational software, which includes:
- chatbots on Messenger
- Slack bots
- Alexa Skills
- Google Home Actions
etc.
Rasa Core's primary purpose is to help you build contextual, layered conversations with lots of back-and-forth. To have a real conversation, you need to have some memory and build on things that were said earlier. Rasa Core lets you do that in a scalable way.
