"Excellent product and very user-friendly"

May 22, 2024
5.0 Show more details
Pros:
After evaluating multiple options, we found Botpress to be the ideal solution. This tool stands out for its user-friendliness, ease of use, and efficiency. The combination of managing conversation flows with pre-configured cards and AI provides effective control and remarkable flexibility. Moreover, the integration with GPT is highly impressive and seamlessly incorporated into the tool. In addition, the support for learning the tool is robust. The available documentation, active Discord channel for inquiries and discussions, and comprehensive YouTube training channel together create a well-designed ecosystem around the tool.
Cons:
While the documentation is accessible and easy to consult, there are areas for improvement, such as the inclusion of default values for certain configurations or variables. Our tests helped us identify these, but the search in the documentation did not.

"Botpress is a Great Way to Get Started in Chatbots"

May 16, 2024
4.0 Show more details
Pros:
I like that it was easy and free to get started. They have a generous free plan, so it's easy to explore and test its capabilities.
Cons:
It would be a huge help to have more templates available as a starting point. The software is intuitive, but for a beginner it's hard to sift through all options to find the best way to accomplish the task at hand. I think having more templates would be a great way to learn options and best practices.

"A great tool for creating custom Ai chatbots with ease"

Overall, I had a great experience, building a chatbot for the very first time, despite not being technically inclined
Pros:
I really like how flexible and user-friendly it is, especially for non-technical users. The visual flow builder makes it easy to design chatbots without deep coding skills
Cons:
Sometimes it takes time to get used to the interface, and setting up advanced Features can be a bit technical for beginners

It's not that bad, everything has its own flaws but I would recommend it to anyone. The Botpress YouTube channel is also great for explaining the User Interface
Pros:
It's User Interface is really designed to accommodate even those that are new to vibe coding .it allows continued improvement
Cons:
The small free tier doesn't allow you to do anything of any use. It would be better if the free tier allowed more that 500 messages and events

"Great Beginner Friendly Chatbot Platform"

May 31, 2024
5.0 Show more details
Pros:
We loved the low cost and east of deployment. We were looking at about a half a dozen different chatbot platforms. We had narrowed the choices down to two open source chatbot platforms because we did not want to be locked in to anyone companies technology. We did not expect much support but Botpress was a nice surprise. They have a very active and supportive community along with weekly office hours and Discord server which was a great resource.
Cons:
There wasn't really anything not to love about Botpress. The initial startup was a bit confusing because we had been using other open source platforms and weren't expecting an already setup cloud platform but that was a wonderful surprise.
