errbot

Why we included this project

Errbot is a self-hosted Python chatbot framework that runs as a daemon and connects to the chat services your team already uses, including Slack, Discord, Telegram, IRC, Mattermost, and XMPP. The plugin system is its main strength: each command is a plain Python function with a docstring, and admins can install, update, enable, or disable plugins by chatting with the bot, with access control set per user and per room. It also includes per-plugin persistence, webhooks, a polling framework, and a test backend for unit-testing commands. Teams that want to automate operational tasks and internal workflows without building chat plumbing from scratch will find a mature, maintained option here.
