How can I test my own bot without using the API? Basically looking for something like this: https://wit.ai/Francis88/Internet%20of%20Things/eval?_t=856&...
Hi everyone! I'm one of the cofounders. This is an early beta of our Bot Engine. We would love to get the community's feedback. Thanks!
hey ar7hur - excited about the release. i've seen/heard that wit.ai likes to use clojure (lisp for AI programming? of course!). was clojure used to power Bot Engine? if so, how did your team like the experience?

Wit.ai (including Bot Engine) is 100% Clojure. Our Grand Master is Rich Hickey.

The team loves it. We're shipping features quickly and it integrates nicely with all the FB infrastructure (via Java). And of course, once you taste REPL-driven development.. you cannot go back :-)
Man, i really love wit.ai, one of the coolest projects i've worked with. Unfortunately, these days i'm becoming jaded to X as a Service. Things like hosting or databases as a service are quantifiable, i have an idea of how much effort it takes me to migrate away... but AI? Especially the cool AI flavored NLP that wit.ai offers - it's just too hard to migrate away from for me. With that said, i understand how hard doi…
(cofounder of Wit.ai here) Thanks for your kind words :) I understand your concerns, here is my take. X as a service allows you to get X with a lot less efforts. It allows you to understand the problem and your needs by getting started quickly. Over time, if X as a service saved you enough time and you become successful, you can choose to develop an expertise in X and cut the dependency. Wit is also about building a…
I think it's more accurate to say that it allows you to borrow X. It's very true that it helps to bootstrap your own product and eventually if things work out you can bring X in-house.
My worry about everything-as-a-service is that until that point, each different service that you use is an another vulnerability to your product. This goes double for specialized services like AI, where unless you already have experts in that field, you're unlikely to have the expertise to replicate the service in-house. (Although by that same token, in this case without the service you couldn't provide your product anyway.)

We're actually working on it :-) The F8 rush took us a bit by surprise... Shipping soon! http://imgur.com/hjswrHT

Was it "rushed" because of Microsoft's bot announcement a couple of weeks ago? (not expecting an answer... ) :)
We had planned to release the Bot Engine at F8 long before MSFT's announcement. If you ask me, F8 might have affected their timing more than the other way around ;-)

I'm interested in this, but is there any info about pricing available yet?
