Current github master version does NOT support python 2.7 anymore (neither will the next major release). If you want to use Rasa Core with python 2.7, please install the most recent version from pypi.

Rasa Core is a framework for building conversational software, which includes Chat Bots on :

• Facebook Messenger
• Slack
• Microsoft Bot Framework
• Rocket.Chat
• Mattermost
• Telegram
• Twilio

But you can also build assistants as

• Alexa Skills
• Google Home Actions

Rasa Core's primary purpose is to help you build contextual, layered conversations with lots of back-and-forth. To have a real conversation, you need to have some memory and build on things that were said earlier. Rasa Core lets you do that in a scalable way.

There's a lot more background information in this blog post
