#43Honest 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.

#45Props 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.
Thanks a lot!

A chatbot in customer service is a time saver. I know a lot of people working in customer service and they have to answer the same questions over and over and over again. The thing is that if a bot is not able to resolve an issue, the conversation is automatically transform to a human being.

#49You guys desperately (I'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.
I clicked on product tour, entered a name, and then got this ridiculousness:
Me: Johnny Cash
Bot: That's interesting
Bot: Ready for an adventure?
Me: No
Bot: Oh no, why? It will be fun!
Bot: Are you sure? :(
Me: (pre-scripted) ok, I can try
Bot: Great, so let's try again.
Bot: Do you want to do something relaxing or should we go crazy?

That'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.
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't do much so you're not immediately getting into showing off its capabilities (I don't know if that's the case or not, but if this were any other site, that would be my take away from it, and I'd never return).

#50I 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..
