Rasa Open Sourcepro

Rasa is an open-source conversational AI framework for building chatbots and voice assistants — intent classification, entity extraction, dialogue management, action execution. Unlike LLM-only chatbots, Rasa provides deterministic intent routing for use cases where you need predictable behavior (banking, healthcare, government).

// Tips & operations

Run it properly.

Operational guidance from running this in production — what to do before you scale, what to lock down, what surprises people.

// PERFORMANCE

Train models on real conversations

synthetic training data underperforms in production

// SECURITY

Version your intents

bot logic evolves; tag stable releases for rollback capability

// OPERATIONS

Action server isolation

custom actions run in separate container; security boundary

// RELIABILITY

Conversation TTL

without expiry, tracker grows unbounded; set retention policy

// DEPLOYMENT

Hot-reload models

Rasa supports zero-downtime model swaps in production

// SCALING

Test stories

Rasa story format = unit tests for conversation flows; maintain coverage
