Make it work outside of Compute Engine

[maxbbraun]

Could be nice to lower the barrier of entry.

Cloud logging can already be disabled easily. Maybe wrap some imports in try/except.

Would need to figure out how to make Application Default Credentials work for the Cloud Natural Language API.

Hi Max, great work. Total python newb here coming from an ASP.NET background -- You're using Compute Engine to essentially run the bot on that platform right?

I am thinking perhaps there is an interface that has "Start Bot" and "Stop Bot" and the bot runs locally on your machine rather than deploying the python application to a VM. Thoughts?
