One of the maintainers of Jovo here. We spent the last 12 months completely rebuilding the framework and are happy to finally share it with a way better architecture.

Some features:

- Cross-platform: Works on the web, voice platforms (like Alexa and Google Assistant), and chat platforms (like Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and Google Business Messages).

- Fast: A CLI, local development, and browser-based debugging using the Jovo Debugger.

- Component-based: Build robust experiences based on reusable components.

- Multimodal: An output template engine that translates structured content into voice, text, and visual responses.

- Extensible: Build Framework plugins, CLI plugins, and leverage many integrations from the Jovo Marketplace.

- Integrated: Works with many NLU and CMS services.

- Robust: Includes staging and a unit testing suite.

Happy to answer any questions!

Congrats on launching! I've played with Roam Research and Obsidian before and like the concept of a knowledge graph. Is the Hypernotes graph similar to those? Any differentiating features?

That's cool! I like how you can switch between a beta and a stable version

That's a great suggestion, thank you! The demos use Google Web Speech as speech recognition service, and NLP.js as natural language understanding (open source) service.

Jovo works with many different services, some of which are open source: https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace

Great question! It uses the Jovo Framework (https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-framework) for the automation of the conversations.

Many people who build Jovo apps (mostly for 1-on-1 conversational experiences, not group chats) host them on serverless environments like AWS Lambda and use document databases like AWS Lambda. Haven't seen problems with scalability there.

We're currently investigating sockets though, which won't work on Lambda. Going to be interesting to see how this scales

Mostly speech to text, probably more on mobile then destop right now.

People are getting more used to interacting with technology using their voice (e.g. through Google Assistant) this is why we want to help developers offer "deep links" into their web functionality with fast speech input.

You know what, you're right. I've been getting a bit annoyed by Drift anyways. So until we launch our own automated chat and search widget, I might as well just remove the current one. Done

Great question! At this moment, Drift is convenient for us because I can reply directly from Slack. We have an internal demo where we can do this with our widget, too, it was a bit too early for this release though. Soon!

we're most experienced with Vue.js, but want to add integrations with more frameworks, too!

it's also possible to use our vanilla JS client: https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace/jovo-client-web

Hey all!

The clients are built with Vue.js and styled with Tailwind CSS, and the backend is built with the Jovo Framework.

Here are all the starters: - https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-starter-web-standalone - https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-starter-web-overlay - https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-starter-web-chatwidget - https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-starter-web-embeddedchat
