# Rita

[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/lita.svg)](https://rubygems.org/gems/lita)

**Rita** is a chat bot written in [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/) with persistent storage provided by [Redis](https://redis.io/).  It is a community-based, actively-maintained continuation of **Lita**, originally written by Jimmy Cuadra.
It uses a plugin system to connect to different chat services and to provide new behavior.
The plugin system uses the familiar tools of the Ruby ecosystem: [RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/) and [Bundler](https://bundler.io).

Automate your business and have fun with your very own robot companion.
