OpenBot is an open-source framework designed to simplify the development of bots, initially for Telegram, with the capability to extend to other platforms. Utilizing a state machine model, it allows for defining complex behaviors in bots through various states and transitions.

• State Machine Framework: Leveraging YAML files with embedded Python code, OpenBot allows defining detailed bot behaviors through a robust state machine approach.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: While primarily for Telegram, the framework is structured to support additional platforms such as Discord.
• Dynamic Data Integration: Bot interactions can pull data dynamically from APIs or be defined statically within the YAML configuration files.
• Redis Integration: Utilizes Redis for effective state management and data caching, ensuring quick access and responsiveness.
• Hierarchical and Parallel States: Supports advanced state management features like hierarchical and parallel states, enabled by the Sismic library.
• Containerization: Facilitates deployment using Docker, ensuring consistent environments across development and production.
• Poetry for Dependency Management: Uses Poetry, streamlining library management and package installations.
• Multiple Bot Examples: Includes a variety of example configurations in the examples folder to kickstart your bot development (more coming soon).

To begin using OpenBot, clone the repository and navigate to the respective directory. Install dependencies using Poetry and deploy bots using Docker Compose.
