Have you tried to write a Chatbot for messaging platforms like Facebook or Slack? It is quite cumbersome as each messaging platform has its own way of communicating with your application.

Chatbot

Why's this capitalised? I don't think it's any kind of proper noun is it?

way of communicating with your application

Could we just say 'API' or 'interface'?

Wow, that was fast :)
Thank you for the comments. You're right, just saying "API" is a lot simpler and better to understand.

This seems fairly short. I think you may need a statement to make the business case for chatbots being something worth learning about. I'd also elaborate on exactly what BotMan is.

Yeah, the main selling point is that BotMan makes it ridiculously easy to build the bots with a super simple API while still being powerful and extendable. It's just hard to fit it in 350 characters.
