Really cool. Is it possible to publish the bot to a website as a JS widget?
On page "product tour": https://botengine.ai/product-tour/ there is an example how you can use it as javascript widget.

Re: Show HN: BotEngine – Easy tool for creating chatbots
#32I 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..
Actually it's not possible to make it using only BotEngine. I'd suggest you to create a microservice which you'll use to suggest content from these articles. BotEngine could connect with this service using webhooks.

#33Imho the most intuitive user interface for bot creation software: http://wstaw.org/m/2017/07/11/Screen_Shot_2017-07-11_at_16.2...
That UI looks much more usable than the chatbot itself. As a user I would probably prefer to traverse the tree and see multiple options at the same time than to pretend I'm having a chat.

#34>BotEngine allows you to create a chatbot for any service. except for the ones that are not implemented. would be interested to try this out once it has telegram support.
We'll have integrations with LiveChat and Slack very soon. I'm adding telegrams and post pigeons to our to-do.
You should probably add Discord, as well.

I saw a demo recently where someone used Microsoft Bot Framework for what you described. Can't find the video at the moment, but might be worth looking into. [https://dev.botframework.com/]

you need more than just this.
1) you need to get all your articles in some sort of search index. Sounds like you will want, at minimum, full text search on article content, plus maybe search of some extracted metadata (depending on if you can get something consistent easily).
2) a little API for serving up search results.
3) integration with something like this BotEngine thing for controlling the front-end/user interface to your data + search backend.

Sounds like a normal FAQ list with nested items, I think bots will achieve better customer service ;)

#40Props for a fresh, clean design. The docs are fantastic, easy to read, and doesn't contain verbose technical bloat. Overall excellent design and UX execution.
