[satyajit-behera]

Will bot builder support wit.ai within the bot framework in addition to the luis framework?

Thanks for the suggestion, we've added it to our backlog.

Any updates on this? can we use wit.ai with bot framework now? I wanted to use wit.ai because it supports more languages than LUIS for NLP

@viralgandhi, the idea behind the dialog stack is that you can compose your bot of multiple, distinct services - so for example, you could have a wit.ai dialog instead of a luis dialog if you want to use the wit.ai service.

@willportnoy does that mean we have to implement the wit.ai service ourselves? I don't fully understand your answer.
It would be great if we could implement it the same way we do when implementing Luis just by adding the data annotations on the dialogclass

[willportnoy]

@Rclemens one method you might choose is to implement the ILuisService interface against the wit.ai service, and then you can reuse the LuisDialog directly.

Note, I have not tried this myself, but it's seems like the most direct path from within the code, at the very least.

@Rclemens @willportnoy There is a prototype of LUIS implementation for Wit.Ai (C#) here. It implements the ILuisService for Wit.Ai. Sample will be added to the repo, asap. It's available on NuGet here.

Hope it helps.
