Botcopy - Add Google Dialogflow to your website in one click

@joshbarkin Thanks Josh, we appreciate that, and back at you. We're extremely proud to integrate with Janis and encourage anyone reading this to check out Janis.ai as well as Botcopy.

@itsshashank Thanks for the insight. At the time we launched Botcopy, Dialogflow was the most popular and easiest to manage among the major NLU frameworks. Also it was leading the pack in voice tech quality. We chose it for our POC, with the main vision being a way to connect but not replace the best-in-class NLU frameworks. A lot of that holds true today — we are shameless believers in Google Dialogflow and Assistant. (Botcopy works with Google Assistant response types.) That said, you make a great point, and we are busy working on two more integrations to hit in 2020. These two are comparable to Dialogflow in terms of both fame and functionality, and one is famous for being open source.

@adi_joseph_shmorak Thanks! Love the “no client left behind” idea. Having a smart agent running 24/7 that also closes the gap of defaults over time really does ensure that every customer gets what they need, when they need it.

@jim_lucas1 Jim! Great to hear from you and thanks for the support. A production-ready bot means diff things to diff companies. You happen to be a quick study on Dialogflow and we’re fans of what you’ve managed to achieve in such a short time! 👊

@maciej_maliszewski Thanks for your comment. It helps that there are superb agencies like yours innovating on the creative end of conversational experiences.

@michael_brant Thanks so much Michael! And I might add to what you said, if someone isn't using Dialogflow, maybe it's time to check it out. :)

@mady_mantha right back at you Mady. Thanks for the love.

@francoolaami Excellent question. We encourage everyone to look at a few solutions and see for yourself. In our opinion, Botcopy has a few advantages. We have a native Google integration (OAuth) so you can connect your agent in one click and it’s safe and secure. We don’t have access to your secret JSON file. Last I checked Kommunicate requires a more lengthy and less secure process. Also, connecting Dflow to rich web chat is our single-minded passion, thus we’ve focused on refining the UX for this particular journey to be uncommonly user-friendly. With regard to Crisp, Botcopy saves you the hassle of a custom REST API build and our widget is extremely versatile with a variety of components that take seconds to customize, so there's no front-end dev burden, either. We keep adding features every month. For a fast, easy experience that costs nothing to launch and no drawn-out and ongoing coding headaches, we think we’re a compelling choice for Dflow-powered web chat.

@peter_pettersson Agreed! When we switched from Chatfuel to Dialogflow a few years ago, a whole new level of flexibility opened up. Perfect for getting user past that make or break moment. Dialogflow can be very nimble in just the right way.

@chiuniverse Bobbi!!! We love your yoga mats. So nice to hear from you. If you need help getting it set up let us know. Just checked out http://bobbihamilton.com/ Very cool.

@chris_mccoy Chris thanks, means a lot!

@kyleigh_smith Thank you, thank you.

@kevindao haha. Maybe someday you'll get to return the favor.

@tony_gimeno Great question! Botcopy uses Dashbot, Chatbase, and Janis for training tools. If you check out our connect page you can toss the api keys from these tools and track your conversations as they come in and even upload them to Dialogflow. We have a few video workshops coming soon with both Dashbot and Janis.

@dustdye Many thanks for your response. I'll check!

@nolochemical Glad you like it. 👍 I'm not sure portability (in terms of adaptive/active cards in MS) applies in our situation. Users of Botcopy first build out their agents in Dialogflow, which has a suite of cards. Dialogflow is multichannel, and the user selects the channel. Botcopy is solely focused on web chat and reads Google Assistant response types and its associated cards. Users of Dialogflow can easily add that same agent to other messaging apps, such as Facebook, as long as they select for that response type in Dialogflow. IOW, one can have a Dflow-built agent running on all the main messaging apps, and then for your website, you can connect that agent thru Botcopy. This is needed because the one major channel Dialogflow doesn't integrate with in an easy way is websites. Dialogflow has a "Web Preview" but it's not a rich, custom web chat, so there's no buttons, carousels, etc., it's not production-ready. Without Botcopy you'd need a custom front-end build and use of REST API to get even one bot built for your site, and it could be a huge job to build and a constant headache to maintain. Botcopy gives you unlimited website bots instantly, with no social media login required (like Facebook) and lets you build the front-ends in minutes, no coding. We add features every week – so every day that passes you have fewer reasons to invest in a custom middleware and front-end build. The whole point of this is to open the floodgates for putting very smart NLU/ML bots quickly onto websites where they can do some good for companies and end users. (Of course, this theory all hinges on companies being able to create excellent Dflow agents. We help with that, too, when needed.)

@rob_lubow1 sweet, okay that’s quite different then. Thanks for in-depth details. So much to learn in the responses as well. Merci !!

@arron_dean haha, thanks. I love yala.social!

@damgeoltd Thank you 🙏 We listen to our trailblazing clients because we are intrigued by the cool things they do. Damgeo is no exception. Thanks for the shout out to Dustin and myself. Botcopy is the brainchild of three cofounders, including Alex Seegers, who is an extraordinary “producer” who heads up our talented tech team.

@christel Music to our ears, Christel. Mastering Dialogflow takes some doing; the last thing you need on top of that are hassles getting it on your site or something that "doesn't work." Thank you for commenting!

@way2outsource Thanks! We offer the ability to switch to Live Chat so it covers all the bases for customer support. Ideally since you're using Dialogflow, you can escalate request to humans less often as your agent gets smarter. :)
