Ruby resources for messenger bot?

Question

We are creating a messenger bot with rails and are looking for some gens

We found Lita which looks nice but I wanted to know if there was any other cool ruby resources we might use for the project?

Thanks!

Here are a few.

Botstack is built on Rails with some pretty nice features like supporting webviews and help with web scraping.

I've built a messenger client that is pretty alpha but it is also fairly complete and I feel, nice to use.

Here is another pretty complete library that provides you with some request handlers as well as a messenger client. I believe it is used in botstack.

This should get you started. I'm working on my own framework and will update the answer if I ever get it released.
