React ChatBotify Building a Flexible & Extensible Chatbot Solution, Tan Jin, #FOSSASIA Summit 2026

Building chatbots is easy – but building a reusable, extensible chatbot library is much harder. This talk introduces React ChatBotify, an open source framework designed to simplify building modern chatbot and AI assistant interfaces for the web.

Learn how React ChatBotify structures conversation flows using modular blocks and state machines, making chatbot logic predictable, scalable, and easy to maintain. We’ll also explore its GitOps-inspired theming system, where UI styling is handled through declarative configuration for better consistency and collaboration.

The session also covers the plugin architecture, showing how developers can extend chatbot functionality and integrate new features without changing core code. A live demo will demonstrate how these components work together to build flexible, production-ready conversational experiences.

Perfect for React developers, AI engineers, and open source contributors building chatbots, LLM agents, or conversational UI systems.

The Arch User Repository recently had a major security incident where more than 1,500 AUR packages were reportedly compromised with malware. In this video, I break down what happened, what users should do about this, how users can check for infection, and why Arch-based distro users should be careful with community packages.

The future of AI isn’t just bigger models—it’s making AI accessible everywhere. In many parts of the world, unreliable internet and limited computing resources make cloud-based AI impractical. This talk explores how Small Language Models (SLMs) can bring powerful AI capabilities to low-connectivity and offline environments.

Learn how compact AI models can run locally on affordable hardware, deliver real-world value without constant internet access, and expand access to AI for underserved communities. We’ll discuss the lessons from projects like TinyStories, practical deployment strategies, and why offline-first AI may be critical for the next billion users.

Perfect for developers, AI practitioners, and open source enthusiasts interested in edge AI, local LLMs, digital inclusion, and building AI systems that work beyond the cloud.
