Hi @jayb, welcome to the forum!

Also, thanks for your feedback. We have a bot in the [examples directory](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/tree/master/examples/rules) that uses rules only. Maybe this helps?

Concerning your question about rules and forms: note that [forms always take precidence](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/next/rules#rules-and-forms) and rules get ignored as long as the form is running. If you want to handle the situation where the user wants to stop filling the form and talk to a human, you must have the form reject the evaluation, as is explained [here](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/next/forms#writing-stories--rules-for-unhappy-form-paths).
