Hey, Product Hunters! ๐Ÿ‘‹ We are very excited to release the alpha version of Illusion.ai on PH today! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ With Illusion.ai Itโ€™s super easy to create a conversational UI, and embed it into your website. My co-founder Juan Pablo and I created Illusion.ai because we felt that websites need to evolve. The way we interact with them hasn't really changed much since the advent of web 2.0. Despite fresh coats of paint every few years, for the most part, we are still just reading static text on a screen. In fact, thatโ€™s what you are doing right now.๐Ÿ™€ Why not have a conversation instead? โžก๏ธ https://illusion.ai/woah We will both be checking this regularly throughout the day, eagerly awaiting your questions and feedback. -David

Launching soon!
@davidkc congrats on the launch! How do you compare with other offerings like Octane.ai or Chatfuel?
David Ciaffoni
Thanks, @chrismessina! Great question. Octane.ai and Chatfuel are focused on bot creation for existing 3rd party services like Facebook Messenger and Telegram. While Illusion.ai is meant to be embedded into websites. We see Illusion.ai a replacement or an enhancement of text-heavy sections, like landing pages, about pages, or FAQs.

@davidkc Spent a few hours building out a product - only to find out the touch events aren't working on iPhone? Even on your demo sites? Do you have a fix, or do I have to debug this?
David Ciaffoni
@jimmyamash you might be using the wrong cdn. please check the documentation. If that doesn't work please send me an email with more details.
Jimmy Amash
@davidkc Yup - I was using my local alpha js file from 3 months ago. Seems that you made updates since then. Thanks!

I don't see how it can be considered AI when it's just a series of if else statements.
David Ciaffoni
@erickbarron86 I don't believe we ever claimed it was AI? If you are referring to the .ai domain that's the country code for Anguilla ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ In all seriousness, the name comes from our aspirations to eventually create a conversational UI that could pass the Turing test. Theoretically to pass the test you don't need true human level AI, just the illusion of one.
Alain Lagrecque
@erickbarron86 I think that's the "illusion" part! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ No where on the website does it mention Artificial Intelligence, you're assuming that from the domain name TLD. I think it's a pretty clever play on words, the fact is you and I both clicked through the IF statements to learn about the product. We may not have done that if it wasn't for the conversational style format. So illusion or not it kind of did it's job ๐Ÿ‘ If this takes off ๐Ÿš€ then I'm sure the next step would be for smarter AI conversations. @davidkc @juanpablofernandez - nice execution guys ๐Ÿ’ฏ

@alainlagrecque @erickbarron86 I could not have said it better myself, thanks, Alan. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Nice product but for a conversational service, it sure has a lot of spelling mistakes: "...you're are good to go!", "...conversational experiance for your..", "...vistors to your site...", "Why not make it interavtive..."

Do you use Illusion.ai?
