I have lots of text about a particular topic (50K Articles crawled from internet about travel experiences). Now I want to create a chat bot whose chats/answers are from this given text. Basically I want to feed my text to this bot service and creates a chat bot for this given text. Is anyone aware of how do I do this.. Not sure If I made it clear..

Imho the most intuitive user interface for bot creation software: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wstaw.org&#x2F;m&#x2F;2017&#x2F;07&#x2F;11&#x2F;Screen_Shot_2017-07-11_at_16.22.25.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wstaw.org&#x2F;m&#x2F;2017&#x2F;07&#x2F;11&#x2F;Screen_Shot_2017-07-11_at_16.2...</a>

A bit off-topic, but I want custom bots per person via facebook or mail for something like:<p>››You still owe me back book XY. Type &quot;snooze&quot; to be reminded again in 7 days. Or be reminded again tomorrow. Type &quot;done&quot; if you got this reminder despite having done it (same as &quot;snooze&quot;, but I&#x27;ll manually review if I should remove the reminder)‹‹

Props for a fresh, clean design. The docs are fantastic, easy to read, and doesn&#x27;t contain verbose technical bloat. Overall excellent design and UX execution.

how does it different than other (seemingly similar) offerings? e.g. api.ai, wit.ai, chatfuel, manychat. i&#x27;ve used wit.ai, it&#x27;s buggy (randomly missing stuff after you save them) and api.ai (so far ok).

Honest question: Are chatbots really used or is just a nice-thing to have? When I visit website and the chatbot pops up it really feels like it disrupts MY browsing, I immediately turn it off. I really wanted to if chatbots can translate into new sales.

You guys <i>desperately</i> (I&#x27;d like to type that 37 times in a row for emphasis) need a serious, one-click to start, interactive product demonstration (without requiring my email first). I should be able to instantly step into serious business use examples catering to multiple industries (eg whatever industries you guys might choose to target first), so you can show me what it can actually do.<p>I clicked on product tour, entered a name, and then got this ridiculousness:<p>Me: Johnny Cash<p>Bot: That&#x27;s interesting<p>Bot: Ready for an adventure?<p>Me: No<p>Bot: Oh no, why? It will be fun!<p>Bot: Are you sure? :(<p>Me: (pre-scripted) ok, I can try<p>Bot: Great, so let&#x27;s try again.<p>Bot: Do you want to do something relaxing or should we go crazy?<p>---<p>That&#x27;s where I quit. Unintentionally creepy bot is slightly creepy. Am I talking to a serious product bot, or is this get trashed and sleep on my couch party bot? Wild and crazy times ahead.<p>Potential customers should be able to dive right into a conversation with your bot tech. You should be extremely eager to show me what it can do in a live conversation and you should have stellar pre-built examples for that purpose all available from one click on the home page. My take away from my experience, is your bot tech can&#x27;t do much so you&#x27;re not immediately getting into showing off its capabilities (I don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s the case or not, but if this were any other site, that <i>would</i> be my take away from it, and I&#x27;d never return).

&gt;BotEngine allows you to create a chatbot for any service.<p>except for the ones that are not implemented. would be interested to try this out once it has telegram support.

Is it free 100%? Or has it some premium paid features?

Is anyone using Inform (or some other interactive fiction programming language) for bot programming? This project reminds me of some of the old tools for adventure games, so I’m wonder if anyone went to one of the interactive fiction tools.

OT but I really like the website - do you mind if I ask who created it?

Is there a way to just get the user response and forward it to a webhook ? (and of course send a reply received from the webservice)

As a user, why would I want a chatbot instead of up-to-date documentation with a search engine that works?

Really cool. Is it possible to publish the bot to a website as a JS widget?
