JBot is a Java framework, inspired by Botkit, for building Slack and Facebook Messenger bots quickly. It handles websocket connections and boilerplate so developers can define bot behavior with simple @Controller methods and a conversation feature.

Use cases

  • build a slack bot in java
  • create a facebook messenger bot
  • handle slack slash commands
  • make a conversational chatbot in java
  • respond to slack events and webhooks
  • prototype a team notification bot

When to choose

  • you want to build Slack or Facebook bots in Java with minimal boilerplate
  • you need multi-step conversation flows with your bot
  • you prefer a Spring Boot based bot framework

When to avoid

  • you need bots for platforms other than Slack or Facebook Messenger
  • you're building bots in Node.js or Python where Botkit or alternatives may fit better
  • you need advanced NLP/LLM capabilities out of the box
