We are extremely excited to announce the launch today of the next generation in Bot building capability, making building bots as easy as child’s play.

Since we launched our public beta in June, we have had great feedback from our users regarding the UI, and the use cases that they would like to enable, and this has all fed directly into the ongoing work we were doing to building the next generation of Converse.AI.

Of particular interest to us was how use cases were rapidly evolving from just straight conversations, to include workflow requirements, including making decisions, manipulating data, and interacting with internal or third party tools, within the flow of the conversation.

Converse.AI Chatflow enables these scenarios and so much more.

It is a new (and very shiny!) graphical UI that allows users to easily build complex templates (now called Chatflows) through a drag and drop interface.

It also enables users to easily integrate Chatflow modules to perform tasks as required, including HTTP Calls, filter, manipulate and store data, or even create rich media output for networks like Messenger or Slack

Not only this, but we have built integration modules to the systems you asked for the most. So you can simply drag and drop third party modules such as Hubspot, Mixpanel, or Clearbit . You can even take payments directly within the flow of a conversation using our Stripe integration!

This means you can track users, analyze behavior, build qualified leads, and take payments, all through a conversation with a bot. And this is just the beginning. We have a whole raft of integrations and modules we are going to be rolling out over the next few months. If there are any you would specifically like to see then let us know!

Why have we done all this? We understand that building bots for customer engagement through a messaging conversation is a new challenge for businesses. We want to enable companies to engage as quickly and easily as possible with their users, without having to worry about all the underlying technology, or having to lose or compromise on the capabilities they already have today with their other channels.

By being able to create conversations with Chatflow, dragging and dropping modules, businesses can save time and money to build the conversations in any channel, to solves their unique problems, in minutes. This interface will also mean that less technical members can also be able to build a conversation, even a non-linear, complicated conversation.

Now we have launched the new UI and Chatflow, we will also have a series of blog posts which will detail a few of our internal and external integrations that will make modeling your conversation significantly easier.
