Build conversational and multimodal experiences for the web, Alexa, Google Assistant, Messenger, Instagram, Google Business Messages, mobile apps, and more. Fully customizable and open source. Works with TypeScript and JavaScript.

```typescript
@Component()
export class LoveHatePizzaComponent extends BaseComponent {
  START() {
    return this.$send(YesNoOutput, { message: 'Do you like pizza?' });
  }

  @Intents(['YesIntent'])
  lovesPizza() {
    return this.$send({ message: 'Yes! I love pizza, too.', listen: false });
  }

  @Intents(['NoIntent'])
  hatesPizza() {
    return this.$send({ message: `That's OK! Not everyone likes pizza.`, listen: false });
  }
}
```

- **Cross-platform**: Works on the [web](https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace/platform-web), voice platforms (like [Alexa](https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace/platform-alexa) and [Google Assistant](https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace/platform-googleassistant)), and chat platforms (like [Facebook Messenger](https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace/platform-facebookmessenger), [Instagram](https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace/platform-instagram), and [Google Business Messages](https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace/platform-googlebusiness)).
- **Fast**: A [CLI](https://www.jovo.tech/docs/cli), local development, and browser-based debugging using the [Jovo Debugger](https://www.jovo.tech/docs/debugger).
- **Component-based**: Build robust experiences based on reusable components.
- **Multimodal**: An [output template](https://www.jovo.tech/docs/output-templates) engine that translates structured content into voice, text, and visual responses.
- **Extensible**: Build [Framework plugins](https://www.jovo.tech/docs/plugins), [CLI plugins](https://www.jovo.tech/docs/cli-plugins), and leverage many integrations from the [Jovo Marketplace](https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace).
- **Integrated**: Works with many [NLU](https://www.jovo.tech/docs/nlu) and [CMS](https://www.jovo.tech/docs/cms) services.
- **Robust**: Includes [staging](https://www.jovo.tech/docs/staging) and a [unit testing suite](https://www.jovo.tech/docs/unit-testing).
