ZDNET – We try out Botpress, a tool that helps you create powerful AI-based chatbots. “Botpress is a tool for building interactive chatbots. While it supports building chatbots for a wide range of applications, the killer app is using it to build a customer support chatbot and backing it up with AI smarts. At its core, Botpress is a drag-and-drop interaction builder. You bring cards out onto the workspace, assign inputs, outputs, and calculations to the cards, and then connect one card to the next until a complete interaction has been mapped out. On the surface, bot building is fairly straightforward. You can build question cards and, based on the answers provided by users, transfer the interaction to another card which will either ask more questions or provide answers. Rinse. Wash. Repeat. Where this product stands out in the AI arena is that you can feed it knowledge sources ranging from a set of documents to a specific webpage, to searching on a specific website, to searching for answers across the web. AI analysis is powered by the ChatGPT API.”
