Question

As a B2B company designing and building softwares for business customers, I would like to know which is the best platform to build a chatbot on. Ideally, this platform would provide me with an API so I could integrate the chat part in any other app.

Love the simplicity of the UI and several integrations including Stripe, API, RSS, Forms, Google Search, Google Sheets, DialogFlow, Dashbot.ai, and 100+ more with Zapier

The best thing I love about this platform is Website Chatbot integration, people can install chatbot on their live chat easily and start capturing leads when they are sleep.

Best tool out there if you want to build a messenger bot

Faisal Nisar Solangi · Answer

Highly recommend Botfuel for building a bot if you're looking to go a level up with your bots at some point. Of course there are platforms like Dialogflow, Amazon Lex for really simple off-the-shelf bots & use-cases but if you're looking to go an extra mile with customisation later on, Botfuel serves that purpose better in my opinion.

Happy to answer more questions on the usability of the platform if you want.

SpanMylife · Answer

Chatfuel also a very good platform to create chatbot. We in spanmylife.com did a comparison between ManyChat and Chatfuel and found that both are quite good enough.
