I've only recently gotten back to using Wire and am really loving it so far. Looks like they're doing everything correctly. Well implemented end-to-end encryption, cross-platform support and everything is open source. On top of that the tech is cool with a backend written in Haskell and Axolotl reimplemented in Rust. And they're planning federation support, which is just amazingly cool!

I saw stuff regarding the integration API a few days ago. It's still very beta as far as I can tell, but projects like this make it look really promising!

also open sourced their server implementation... and the interface is so very nice.

I've had some of the best voice / video calls yet with it too.

Any opinions you'd like to share about Wire relative to other secure chat applications? I've been debating Keybase, but I'm unsure how to rank the secure chat apps, honestly.

another author here.

On Open Source, we are closely watching feedback on Caura's bot. If more people trial it without major issues, we will consider possibilities here. Also, our API for Natural Language processing and machine learning is accessible in closed Beta. We've not finalized what this would look like long-term.

one of the authors here. Both Caura and Entropy.AI are looking forward to your feedback.

Are these tools open source, so that I can take both and create a website you can chat with?

Parts are open source (Wire chatbot SDK, Wire Chat client) , others are not currently (entropy.ai). For the later, this is their alpha test of outside API calls, so hopefully this is something than can be published publicly later once they are comfortable exposing API for everyone.

I went to entropy.ai and found some... something.. medical software? Looks closed source anyway
