Hi guys! This is Alex from ChatBottle.
The idea was to create the best place to discover chatbots.
The number of bots is increasing every day and it's becoming hard to discover new good bots. That's why we decided to create a search engine. It's like google, but for chatbots :)
How it works:
All the bots are ranked based on different ranking factors. The most important ones are retention and bounce rate, ProductHunt votes and bot's profile completeness.
It means that the best bots are always on the top of search results.
We currently support Facebook Messenger, Slack and Telegram bots. Feel free to test it and provide your feedback.

@agamanyuk Hey, our bot Guggy only appears in Slack although we have a KiK and Telegram bots also. How can we fix it?

@rotemthegolfer Since you support 3 different platforms you'll have 3 different ChatBottle profiles. We're not merging bots and treat it as separate applications.
If Guggy for Telegram is not yet on ChatBottle please add it. Also, don't forget to verify the bots, it will increase their score in the search results.
ps: Kik is not supported for now :(
@acpmasquerade@rotemthegolfer No. For instance, Poncho for Messenger and Poncho for Telegram are different bots.
The commands they process are not the same. And what's more important they are executing differently. The bounce rate (that is very important for our algorithms) is different.

By I think we should add a link "also available on [platform]" for such cases to reference another bot's profile.
ChatBottle is my go-to bot store! It helped me in discovering all the interesting bots on Messenger!
Great work, Chatbottle team. You are solving a big discovery problem of chatbots.

@ankur10 Thank you Ankur! During the following two weeks we plan even more great updates! The number of bots is increasing and we need to "activate" a few more ranking algorithms :)

@agamanyuk What makes Chatbottle different than Botlist, BotArena, and BotPages?

@askdaylen ChatBottle is a search engine, not a catalog or directory.
It's like google and yahoo directories.
The bots are sorted based on a number of different ranking factors. Look at the image bellow for more details (it's a bit outdated, but anyway)
Love it. Will there be a marketplace for Chatbots?

@savchukmark Hi Mark,
In a couple of months, we plan to launch a crowdfunding service for chatbots developers.
It's not exactly a marketplace, but if you need a bot you'll be able to contribute some money and help build one.
This definitely is one of the few clean collection of bots.
Pros:
great collection of chat bots, with ranks
Cons:
UI can improve to provide sort based on rank, views etc.

I find it hard to discover Messenger bots based on popularity or rating. Doesn't seem to be a good place for this. I like this initiative from ChatBottle to rank bots based on external parameters like Product Hunt votes and usage statistics.
