The first thing - it's very intuitive and simple, second - BotEngine will be the only tool integrated with LiveChat and third - we'll focus on machine learning.

> BotEngine will be the only tool integrated with LiveChat How come?

We're building the integration and it will be available soon.

A bit off-topic, but I want custom bots per person via facebook or mail for something like:

››You still owe me back book XY. Type "snooze" to be reminded again in 7 days. Or be reminded again tomorrow. Type "done" if you got this reminder despite having done it (same as "snooze", but I'll manually review if I should remove the reminder)‹‹

It’s because in SaaS it is easier to test it, to develop it, to gain new users etc. + we know this model very well :)

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

Not to mention on-prem means support becomes much more difficult

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..
