You didn't mention a botman version. following solution for botman version 2.0

You need an equal or higher version of php7.1.3. Because in chatbot they are using some additional features which added in PHP version 7.1.3 like instead of list($array1,$array2)=$data[0] now added new feature [$array1,$array2]=$data[0] which work as list($array1,$array2) and many more changes done in version 7.1.3 so you must have to upgrade your PHP version from 7.0 to 7.1.3 or higher.

After That install botman webwidget driver using composer. now try to update your code with following.

use BotMan\BotMan\BotMan;
use BotMan\BotMan\Drivers\DriverManager;
use BotMan\BotMan\BotManFactory;
use BotMan\BotMan\Cache\CodeIgniterCache;
use BotMan\BotMan\Messages\Incoming\Answer;
use BotMan\BotMan\Messages\Conversations\Conversation;
use BotMan\BotMan\Messages\Outgoing\Question;
use BotMan\BotMan\Messages\Outgoing\Actions\Button;
use BotMan\BotMan\Messages\Attachments\Image;
use BotMan\BotMan\Messages\Outgoing\OutgoingMessage;

    public function chat_reply() {
            $config = [];
            $this->load->driver('cache', array('adapter' => 'apc', 'backup' => 'file'));
            DriverManager::loadDriver(\BotMan\Drivers\Web\WebDriver::class);
            $botman = BotManFactory::create($config, new CodeIgniterCache($this->cache->file));
            $botman->hears("Hi", function (BotMan $bot) {
                    $bot->reply('bye~');
            });
    }
