Connect Your Chatbot

1. Connect Snowglobe to an API endpoint that your chatbot is running on. This is the easiest way to get started.
2. Start a local process that wraps your chatbot, and connect Snowglobe to that process. This is more flexible, and allows you to use Snowglobe with any chatbot that can be run as a local process.
