🎉 Announcing [BotKit 0.1.0](https://jsr.io/@fedify/[email protected]): A new framework for creating ActivityPub bots!
We're thrilled to announce the initial release of #BotKit, a #TypeScript framework that makes creating standalone #ActivityPub bots simpler than ever before. With BotKit, you can create a complete fediverse bot in just a single TypeScript file!
Key features:
- 🔋 Standalone bot creation—no need for a Mastodon/Misskey account
- 🧩 Simple, developer-friendly API
- 🚀 Easy deployment on [Deno Deploy](https://botkit.fedify.dev/deploy/deno-deploy), [Fly.io](https://botkit.fedify.dev/deploy/docker#deploying-to-fly-io), [Railway](https://botkit.fedify.dev/deploy/docker#deploying-to-railway), or [your own server](https://botkit.fedify.dev/deploy/self-hosting)
- :fedify: Powered by @npub1tlf…wz08 for robust ActivityPub protocol handling
Getting started is as simple as:
```
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@^0.1.0
```
Here's a quick example of a weather bot:
```
const kv = await Deno.openKv();
const bot = createBot<void>({
username: "weatherbot",
name: "Seoul Weather Bot",
summary: text`I post daily weather updates for Seoul!`,
kv: new DenoKvStore(kv),
queue: new DenoKvMessageQueue(kv),
});
// Reply to mentions
bot.onMention = async (session, message) => {
await message.reply(text`Current temperature in Seoul is 18°C!`);
};
// Post scheduled updates
const session = bot.getSession("https://weather.example.com");
setInterval(async () => {
await session.publish(
text`Seoul Weather Update 🌡️
Current: 18°C
Humidity: 65%
Forecast: Clear skies ☀️`
);
}, 1000 * 60 * 60); // Hourly updates
```
While BotKit currently supports #Deno, we're working on bringing Node.js and Bun support in future releases.

:botkit: Introducing #BotKit: A #TypeScript framework for creating truly standalone #ActivityPub bots!
Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, [BotKit] lets you build fully independent #fediverse bots that aren't constrained by platform limits. Create your entire bot in a single TypeScript file using our simple, expressive API.
Currently #Deno-only, with Node.js & Bun support planned. Built on the robust @npub1tlf…wz08 foundation.
