Hubot is a JavaScript/Node.js framework for building customizable chat bots, originally created by GitHub to automate company chat rooms. It is distributed via npm and extended with user-written scripts and adapters for many chat services like Slack, Discord, Teams, and IRC.

Use cases

  • build a chat bot for Slack or Discord
  • automate deployments from a company chat room
  • create custom chat commands and integrations
  • add fun scripts and inside jokes to a team chat bot
  • run a bot that answers help queries in chat
  • automate repetitive team tasks via chat

When to choose

  • you want a battle-tested, script-extensible chat bot framework on Node.js
  • you need adapters for multiple chat platforms
  • you want chatops automation for your team

When to avoid

  • you need a modern conversational AI or LLM-based assistant
  • you want a no-code bot builder
  • you prefer a framework with native CoffeeScript support (removed in v11)
