Looks interesting, but I immediately have problems getting it to work with "failed to process text missing user". I also get 500 server errors when trying to install the plugins, which I assume means it's hitting a problem before I'm trying to run it normally.

Are there updated installation instructions? The version on github is 0.2 but the instructions seem to be for 0.1.

Hey Ian. Never intended for this to be posted so early (as it's clearly not ready). I'm getting some bugfixes out today that should address your problems.

The README on the master branch is the most current set of instructions.

This might make a good "Show HN" when it's ready.

Exactly. In the next few months it'll be ready for a proper unveiling!

Sounds great! I'd not intended this as a complaint, by the way, I got further more quickly than I'd expected with alpha software.

I look forward to seeing how this progresses :)

So, is this 100% going to keep my information private?

You deploy it on your own database, so I suppose your information security depends on you (or the DB-as-a-service provider you choose).

looks interesting, I´ll take a look? :)

As I understand, it's very similar (in functionality) to this: https://www.getmagicnow.com/

Or there are more differences?

Magic is a service like a concierge, managed by people.

This is a framework for building your own bots.
