ManyBot is free and open-source a messaging automation ecosystem for online businesses and communities.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18
• npm

Getting started

npm install -g @manybot/manybot
npm install -g @manybot/manyplug
manybot

On first run, a configuration file is created at ~/.manybot/manybot.conf. Edit it to set up your preferences and list the plugins you want to load.

For detailed setup instructions, see the documentation.

Plugins

ManyBot's functionality comes from plugins. Install them with ManyPlug:

manyplug install <plugin-name>

Browse available plugins at manybot.stxerr.dev/plugins.

Want to build your own? The plugin API lets you add commands and features without touching the bot's core - documentation coming soon.
