How does this compare to something like chatfuel for Facebook Messenger? I'm still waiting for a drag and drop bot builder and templates 😬
Usama Noman
@bentossell yeah similar to them :). We are working a lot to simplify the interface and make it easy for non-programmers these days. Usually people who do not have technical background do not have any idea about setting up webhook and all that, there is a video right when they login to walk them through the whole process. But yeah still a lot of work needs to be done.

@bentossell we are working on that drag and drop concept Ben. It's hard (on mobile) for lot's of reasons, we'll see how it goes. But I hunted this because a) it's cool! & b) I think the market for easy to construct bots (like Botsify here) for product and brand managers that do not have dev. teams (or are not developers themselves) is a really awesome thing. Much like Squarespace, Wix, etc. I don't believe bot creation should be the exclusive realm of developers. Even though it may mean a proliferation of crappy bots, it will be good in the end. Like the app store, the best ones will surface and we'll find all sorts of new creations in that. I really like what you're doing here @Usama! Congrats on launch. Looks great.

@bentossell We just launched the beta of a drag-and-drop bot builder, no coding skills required, but if you know how to code you can insert your own JavaScript 😎 It's pretty simple to use, you can have your bot live in just a minute. The beta is public, try it out: https://talkbot.io

Hi Product Hunters! This is Usama, founder of Botsify. I am very happy to make it on Product Hunt today. We started Botsify 3 weeks ago. We certainly are one of the first helping people to make awesome chatbots for facebook messenger without any coding knowledge. I would love to hear about your feedback on the product. Three weeks down we have helped over 60+ people make their chatbots, and the number is growing rapidly. We are working on some really cool features like "Editing chatbot responses, tokenized searching, marketing, analytics and a package for WordPress chatbot". So you will be able to start right away with one click for your WordPress chatbot using WP-Rest. In case of any feedback I would love to hear from you guys. Let me know what's more important to improve the product at this point. Here is my email address (usama@botsify.com)

@usamanoman the quote from Zuck on your page doesn't really make sense does it? "WE THINK YOU SHOULD MESSAGE A BUSINESS JUST THE WAY YOU WOULD MESSAGE A BUSINESS." Maybe you should update this? I feel like there's a typo. 🤒

@gozmike @usamanoman I believe the quote is "We think you should message a business just the way you would message a friend."
Usama Noman
@gozmike Fixed. Thanks :)

the support is non existent, I have problems with my paid contact, no response. I created a user here since I am sure that would get their attention faster than their support chat.

Pros:

great structure

Cons:

TERRIBLE support

It is 22 days ago, still no reply. I can't even log on and they are charging from my bank account. I have no way of communication with the owners. It should be illegal...

Just got my product hunt page ready :) Do checkout and let me know. https://botsify.com/?ref=product...

How is it different from Chatfuel? Has anyone used it?
Usama Noman
@stuticlicks Hi Stuti, I have used Chatfuel. We both are pretty much the same. I believe our competition is going to be on performance now on. They have got some big names under the belt too and have done a great work no-doubt.

Funky to see this was posted straight after Chatfuel, a bit of rivalry has always kept things more fun!
Usama Noman
@orliesaurus Yeah :) Its more fun. Did you try botsify?

Loads of these bots coming out. What's your angle (except simplicity)
Usama Noman
@ibbe_raja Well nothing else right now. Our target is simplicity and allowing people to convert to chatbots without any coding knowledge.

Asad Memon
This is pretty cool. Thanks for that intro video, now I know how these messenger bots actually work! :D
Usama Noman
@asadmemonpk Thanks Asad, would love to hear your feedback.
Renzze Mistal
Cool to see these types of services popping up. Could really be beneficial for brands. Will check this out along with Chatfuel this weekend! :)
Usama Noman
@renzzemistal Thanks, good to know that you are going to check it out. Do let me know about your feedback.

You might want to run a grammar / spell check on your site: "With over a billion user you can now double you conversions with messenger chatbot." --> "With over a billion users you can now double your conversions with messenger chatbots."
Usama Noman
@triptych Thanks, will surely have a grammar and spell check.
Brian Breslin
How much will it cost?
Michael Scott
This is awesome! Thanks
Vernon Ross
I'm checking out the bot now. There some new marketing bot out name Bullet Response but I think this is much better. I wonder can I send a mass message to all the users of my page.
Usama Noman
@rosspr You definitely can send mass message via "Botsify" now.
Stefan Kojouharov
@usamanoman Hi Usama, Love the vision. I think that one day very soon, bot making will be 'drag and drop'. Just got asked a question about making bots on Quora and included you guys in the answer: https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-...
Edin Vejzovic
Hey, how do I test my messenger, since it first should be published to run, but in order to publish it, I have to have some kind of screencast. From where should I record it, if it still can't run in messenger.

The chatbot turns into a full page view if a user clicks on the widget. This allows them to see our products clearly and stay focused on the conversation. Very useful addition to the platform!

I would recommend using Botisfy to all non-technicals, as it's made as user-friendly as possible. You become a self-taught chatbot maker with its easy user interface. Good work guys!
