| Whether you're new to spaCy, or just want to brush up on some

| with examples or illustrations. Some sections will also reappear across
| the usage guides as a quick introcution.

| #[strong natural language understanding] systems, or to

+item #[strong spaCy is not a platform or "an API"].
| Unlike a platform, spaCy does not provide a software as a service, or
| a web application. It's an open-source library designed to help you
| build NLP applications, not a consumable service.
+item #[strong spaCy is not an out-of-the-box chat bot engine].
| While spaCy can be used to power conversational applications, it's
| not designed specifically for chat bots, and only provides the
| underlying text processing capabilities.
+item #[strong spaCy is not research software].
| It's is built on the latest research, but unlike
| #[+a("https://github./nltk/nltk") NLTK], which is intended for
| teaching and research, spaCy follows a more opinionated approach and
| focuses on production usage. Its aim is to provide you with the best
| possible general-purpose solution for text processing and machine learning
| with text input – but this also means that there's only one implementation
| of each component.
