    This seems like a good idea for a bot built with https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-bot-sdk (which is very easy, I've used it for a few small projects).

    The SDK has a callback for each new message - you could just put it into a DB and then render to static text.

    Matrix's bot support should be excellent? It's arguably more robust than Discord's given it's an open API and there are tonnes of SDKs and bots building on it: https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-bot-sdk, https://matrix.org/docs/guides/usage-of-matrix-bot-sdkhttps:..., etc.

    What do you mean by 'smart widgets based on url'?

    One of the really interesting things about chatbots on Azure is the Bot Framework Emulator tool that lets you test a chatbot locally and get detailed information about the request the bot received and the response the bot generated.

    Testing the bot for yourself: To test the bot out yourself you'll need to download the code and also install the latest version of the Bot Framework Emulator (you can find it here). This will allow you to test the bot over web chat. It's a straight forward process just run the code and connect the bot. When connecting the bot, the url should look something like this: http://localhost:3978/api/messages this is the endpoint for requests to be sent to the bot.
