making bots

If you want to create a persistent presence in Facebook Messenger without having to always stay connected & attentive, then what you need is a bot. You can use Talkbot to create a fully functional chatbot in under 1 minute by taking advantage of its easy to use drag & drop interface.

It seems that the demand for creating bots is becoming a commonplace occurrence & we’ve already covered a number of startups that provide services similar to Talkbot: Chatlike.me, Bottr, ManyChat… & even established players like Microsoft & Oracle have been getting in on the action.

Talkbot is free to use & can be accessed from the main product page. It is based on a template scheme, so that you can choose a particular user case & click on the “build bot” button to get the bot started on your Facebook Messenger account.

The basic user cases for which Talkbot builds functionality are:

  • Business – lets you share basic info about your business, like telephone, address, FAQ, product & service info, becoming a 24/7 personal assistant
  • Automated support – create an Online support channel for your clients, including instructions on how to use your products & services
  • Data capture – create data gathering formats & intelligently poll your customers
  • Personal bot – promote your projects, create your own intelligent portfolio & answer questions about yourself
  • Games – help players with intelligent help guides

If you’re a developer, you extend bot functionality by accessing the Talkbot API from within your JavaScript code, or you can contact with Talkbot & have them create a more in-depth, personalized bot for your company.

Talkbot was founded by Carlos Cabada, a Monterrey, Mexico-based developer, who is also known for creating the Pokémon Go Bot, Piggy Bot, Hivee, AI Phonecall, Indoor Locationing, AI Eye…
