## What it is
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)
