The ask method only works inside a conversation class. Inside the hears method, you need to start a new conversation like $bot->startConversation(new YourConversationClass());

It doesn't work even if you are using conversation class (in a non-studio project). Any help @christophrumpel ?

Here is a working example with WebDriver:

`<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use BotMan\BotMan\BotManFactory; use BotMan\BotMan\Cache\LaravelCache; use BotMan\BotMan\Drivers\DriverManager; use BotMan\Drivers\Web\WebDriver;

class EntryPointController extends Controller { public function __invoke() { $config = []; DriverManager::loadDriver(WebDriver::class);

    // Create an instance
    $botman = BotManFactory::create($config, new LaravelCache(), app()->make("request"));
    $botman->hears("Hi", function ($bot) {
        $bot->reply("Hello!");
    });
    $botman->listen();
}

}`

in route.php

Route::post('botman', EntryPointController::class);
