Have been close to the Botsociety team during the development of this new tool, and I swear this is going to change the way any company thinks about conversational interfaces. You can now design a user experience where context switches between voice, visuals, different displays, it's mind blowing. And still providing the simplicity of well loved design tools like Figma.
Way to go Botsociety, way to go!
Hi all! I'm excited to announce Botsociety 2, the product we've been working on for the last 10 months!
We built it around 3 ideas for the perfect conversation design tool:
- Design for anything. You should be able to design for any type of conversational interface, either chat, voice, or any other device mix
- Design everything. You should be able to design complete conversation design patterns, like dedicated repair paths, multi-intents paths, multi-modal interactions, etc.
- Collaborate. You should be able to keep managers and developers on the same page, collaborating on a complete design artifact. That also means that your engineers should be able to export your design to the technology that they want to use.
Please let me know what you think!
I've been following closely the work of the Botsociety team since the early days. The work they've done on this new version has taken it to the next level of maturity and I got to say, I'm impressed. Steadily making it an indispensable tool to any individual/team serious about designing conversational experiences 🙂
It's interesting that this product exists. There are tools out there that will allow you to do this, and actually create the bot, with NLP powering the conversation. Why would someone use a tool like this to only mock it up when they can also build it with one tool?
Hi all! Stefano here, CTO at Botsociety.
Working on Botsociety was an incredible journey - we reworked our initial concept completely, both from a technological and design point of view.
I can’t wait to hear your feedback!
Really excited that Botsociety 2 is finally out! It's been a lot of months working with a great team to release this, and we're ready to help take conversation design to the next step!! The product team welcomes your feedback - let us know what you think!⚡️
Hi all! Max here, lead developer at Botsociety. Working on Botsociety2 has been a crazy journey, we re-wrote and re-thought everything from scratch, taking all the stuff we learned from the original Botsociety. I can’t wait to see what the community tells us!
Really excited about this! Botsociety is doing a great job at understanding what conversation designers at enterprises truly need. It's easy to design, collaborate, manage, and handover your designs to engineering. Keep it up!
Hi everyone! I’m one of the developers on the Botsociety team. We worked on this release for the past many many months, so now it’s incredible to finally release it! Please reach out if you have any feedback! We plan to release updates and improvements very often, based on what the community tells us.
Congrats, looks great!
I find the ability to design multi-modal interactions quite intriguing. Building a conversational experience that works across different devices can be difficult with multiple layers of challenges. How would e.g. a multi-modal experience be designed that should work both on the phone and a smart display?
Keep up the great work 🚀
@einkoenig You can design that multi-modal experience with Botsociety! You can both design what happens when the interaction is the same, but with different formats; as well as what happens when the interaction changes substantially
Hi all! I’m one of the developers that worked on Botsociety 2. It has been a crazy journey so far, and now I’m stocked to hear what the community thinks. Please let us know any feedback!
