Visual story builder for Rasa

Getting Started with Rasa
1

Hello all, We started using Rasa for our product. We experimented with other bot frameworks and settled for Rasa as it is in Python, while most other frameworks are non-Python. So far, it is going ok. One thing that is bothering us is the lack of a visual story/flow builder. We want to onboard domain experts (no experience in coding) to write chat flows and stories for us. Rasa doesn’t have any visual story/flow builder, and all the third-party tools (botfront, botsociety) for this purpose are dead now. We are not a fan of Rasa x. Now it is not free, and we don’t know how much it will cost unless we sit down with a salesperson. We have several options now.

  1. Use botfront, it is outdated, but something is better than editing text files.
  2. Use some mindmapping tool like https://coggle.it/gallery, export to text or json and write scripts to convert them to Rasa files.

Just wondering how everyone out there is solving this problem.

Hello!

Interested in your experience, have you tried draw.io for that purpose?

Used draw.io but not for chat bot stories. One requirement for us is to export the stories in some useful format (ex json) so we can write scripts to convert them to Rasa files. BTW someone just posted about an interesting open source tool that might be very helpful in this case:
