Chatbot by Landbot — No-code website based Chatbot Builder

Well, this is lovable and looks like Upcoming 'Ship' page of ProductHunt. I have enrolled it as one of the beta tester and enjoying everybit of it. Congratulations Team. :)

This looks super dope — a very easy way to make your site conversational using templates and a slick-looking flow editor.

I truly believe in the direction landbot is heading, enabling makers to utilise a bot without having to chose a platform is powerful. Using Landbot as a landing page will increase conversion as users will be guided by the bot through the customer journey. I am working on a product build with landbot, i cant wait to share it with the product hunt community soon. #Landbot1.0

Pros:

Amazing product :) looks good and easy to use

Cons:

Integration is not easy, but i am sure the team is busy building a simple process for integration within Landbot.I have faith in the team :)

Amazing product. Just got done playing with it and can see a ton of value! Love the builder. Looking forward to experimenting more and seeing how it works once implemented. Really impressed by the UI. I feel like the sky is the limit as this product develops. Well done, team! Any plans to automate any aspects of the build process? It's great that it's so flexible, but might be tedious for folks building several. I did notice several typos and errors on your website. Nothing too terrible, but they could take away from your credibility and turn some people off. Not a big deal and an easy fix, but one worth looking into.

Design-wise: on Mobile browser, it was jumpy and hard to follow the conversation. (JARRING) When adding a new message, please consider animation to (1) show me where to look and (2) I can follow the conversation. Content-wise: I’m unsure what the demo is showing me; there’s no resolution — I was left hanging, and there were no options to “click”. Maybe it’s a network error?

My experience so far

Sign up & onboarding

- A sign up form would have been fine. I know it's trying to showcase the bot, but a form is much more efficient and in this case the UX was hindered.

- Had to cycle through several usernames that were already taken. Don't seem to be used for a subdomain. Unclear why unique username required?

- No way to relaunch the "onboarding wizard"

Will update when I've worked with the actual product.

Pros:

UI looks cool

Cons:

See below

Loving it! Having problems with the live chat behind my website's nav though: Any ideas? Also, how do I disable the 'sharing' at the end of the chat?

Hello hunters 👋 This is Jiaqi CEO & Co-founder of Landbot.io. Our last launch was four months ago when we first introduced Landbot to the public. We never thought all the attention and interest we would get with the very first version of the product. It caught us by surprise, we felt fortunate but at the same time worried about the state of Landbot at that moment. Then our worst worries became true; many hunters told us that the idea was cool but the product was choppy and we undercooked the execution. Once we realized our big mistake, the team immediately took action: we change the product to beta and put a waitlist to avoid burning new users. Meanwhile, the dev team started to rebuild the whole platform from scratch. We took incredible feedbacks from users who despite the bad UX of our platform was bearing with us and helped us to find all potential usability issues. Today, after hundreds of cups of coffees and sleepless nights working on the new version of the platform, I am very proud to present you: Landbot 1.0 We intentionally call it 1.0, because for us this will be the actual starting point to bring value to our users by helping them to build great conversational experiences. We can group most critical changes mainly into three groups: -Frictionless experience for final users: New landbot interface and animations. Returning visitor recognition. Improved navigability with Menu button. -Easy bot building process: Template system Optimized chatbot builder. Real-time design editor. Multiple embedding formats. -Effortless lead managing tools: API Integrations Notifications system Human take over New Analyze section Finally, I'd like to thank our existing users for their support and feedbacks. I can't stress enough to say that Landbot 1.0 is only the start, so I would immensely appreciate the PH community to give us another chance. Help us to humanize websites by turning it into beautiful conversational experiences. We are eager to hear all your feedback about the new version!

Congrats on the launch! Do people actually prefer this over a normal landing page? And have you guys A/B tested this vs. landing page to see if you got more conversions?

We recently used Launchbot for our own PH launch landing page a few weeks back. https://www.vervoe.com/expertsco... -- helped us really be successful, and collect a whole bunch of leads (with a really high conversion rate). Product came a loooooong way since the original version, which I also played around with when building. V 1.0 was infinitely easier to use. @Jiaqip -- only feedback would be to perhaps make it easier to connect landbots to domain names? For Entrepreneur friends who want to buy a domain and spin up a quick landing page, I usually refer them to Squarespace or Strikingly, but it should really be landbot when it comes to testing ideas. One-click connects to domains bought on Google/GoDaddy/Namecheap would be amazing. Keep up the good stuff!

This is great! Dislike how much time it takes for it to respond though. Do you have any plans to make it faster?

Congrats guys! We want to use Landbot.io to create a demo of our app based chatbot in our website. Can't wait to try it ;)

@jiaqip might want to test for mobile a bit more. I kept seeing the bot response with an error message before it displayed the actual intended message. Good improvements though!

The teams here in my company already consider moving from typeform and use landbot for all internal and external forms. I also gave it as a recruitment exercise, so cool.

Also, what if you let us remove the landbot trademark for $1? I know your logo give you exposure but having my credit card can help you easier moving me from basic package to a pay package...I mean just a thought, I might be wrong...

Pros:

Love the overall user experience, it's friendly, straight forward and I saw direct results using it for lead gen.

Cons:

Well, really did not have any frustrations...for real! Even had a call from the CEO Jaiqi to share my experience.

This is not what it was designed for, but I'm even using Landbot to mock up the flow for non web-based chatbots. It's so easy to throw on a page and walk through with clients.

Pros:

Very easy to use. The new UI is even nicer. I had a bot up and running within 30 mins of signing up. Responsive team.

Cons:

I'd like to see some more integrations, but that's only a matter of time.

Pretty neat. I was using Drift for few months, and when I saw this, got really interested. One problem though, it bothers me that chat doesn't pop up after few seconds, like Drift does, to catch users attention, it makes a huge difference.

I'm one of those who tried the early release of Landbot (pre-1.0) and wasn't too happy because it was quirky and broke down easily. However, with 1.0 the team really managed to get me from skeptical to supportive - the product is MUCH easier to use now and works like a charm. We got some strong leads already from our conversational landing page powered by Landbot, and can't wait to share the actual product (which is itself conversational as well) behind the landing page with the PH community - once it's done!

I've used a previous version of Landbot, but it's a new level! World is tired from all these boring landing pages, time for conversational landing to take off. Keep rocking, guys, I love the product, my next landing will be conversational :)

I think this is a great concept and product... That said, as an end user, I find it to be kind of annoying. It feels like the conversations go too slow, and the examples you provided (18coffees)... I personally feel like I'd rather just see a landing page. I think someone else asked about the option to "close" the window, and I guess you can get that in a pro plan... it's something I tried to do multiple times. I can definitely see in the right use case how this can be very value add, collecting emails, pointing people in the right direction, etc. I just was personally annoyed with all the examples asking for my name, asking for my email, etc... when I just want a landing page to quickly figure out the product. Another thing, even in response to the simplest options... like when I just have one option to push which is "Hey", there is still a delay with the fake dot.dot.dot of someone typing back. I don't suspect most end users are incapable of understanding this is a bot... it's pretty obvious. I get the dot.dot.dot gives the [fake] feel of an actual conversation... but to me it was just more waiting. It felt more like a waiting hourglass. Sure, we're only talking about a couple of seconds... but the response should be instantaneous.

Nice job here, guys, just created an account, can’t wait to see how this really affects lead generation. Which other use cases are the most common for these conversational webs?
