What it is

Build chatbots for multiple instant messaging platforms, like Discord or WeChat.

Real use case example

"A founder, Sarah, wants to create a community chatbot for her Discord server. She uses LangBot to connect her bot to multiple platforms, including Discord, and then configures it to respond to new members. After setting up the bot, Sarah notices an increase in engagement among her community members."
