Introduction
------------

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.

There's a lot more background information in this `blog
post <https://medium.com/rasa-blog/a-new-approach-to-conversational-software-2e64a5d05f2a>`__
