Popular designers to create bots «Telegram»

The phenomenon of "bots" has already firmly entered our ubiquitous life. At the moment, very few people can imagine their life without the use of one or another type of robots. And with the development of the Telegram messenger, those who want to create their own robot increases every day. But not everyone has an understanding and knowledge of such a field as programming. Special designers come to the rescue, which allow the development and activation of the bot in a semi-automatic mode.

Of all these resources, 4 of the most popular and easy-to-use designers are worth highlighting.

Chatfuel

This is a multifunctional designer of bots for Telegram and Facebook, with a wide range of features, it is as easy to learn and free as possible, which is important for many users.

According to the developers, the number of bots created using Chatfuel is steadily approaching 500, 000 (including the official one from Forbs), and the number of users has long exceeded 15 million. National Geographic, TechCrunch and UBER also work with the service.

Hundreds of integration options have been implemented, including pillars such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Chatfuel

Support for KIK, Slack, WhatsApp and Viber will be added soon.

To work with this service in “Telegram” it is necessary to find and add “@Chatfuelbot”, and then with the help of prompts to carry out development and training.

Api.ai

According to many users, Api.ai is one of the main competitors of Chatfuel.

In this constructor, the main part of the work is done in the console, and not in the chat with the bot (not taking into account the initial creation via “@BotFather”).

To work with the service, you will need an active Google account in which you need to log in to the site “//api.ai”.

Api.ai

“Api.ai”, like many similar resources, is not free, but there is a free package with a limit of 6000 calls per month, for a paid package and full functionality you will need to pay $ 89 per month.

This service is constantly evolving, at least the fact that “Api.ai” was acquired by the company “Google” indicates this.

Flow xo

The main focus of the Flow XO service is the creation and support of bots for business tasks.

It is possible to use the capabilities of Flow XO for free only in a limited mode, while the price for paid packages starts from $ 19 per month.

For this price the following main functionality is offered:

  • logic editor;
  • promotion widget;
  • built-in web messenger;
  • use HTTP / JSON;
  • RSS content sorting;
  • triggers;
  • filters;
  • executing javascript and others.

Flow xo

The list goes on and on, as Flow XO continues to grow, like its competitors, attracting more and more investors and improving the offered opportunities and services in general.

Recast AI

"Recast.ai" - another bot designer "Telegram" - uses its own natural language recognition technology. According to the assurances of the developers themselves, the creation and initial training takes no more than 8 minutes.

Recast AI

Python, NodeJS, PHP, Android and API are available for work.

The advantages are also attributed to equipping the service with a free tariff without strict restrictions, which allows you to use almost all of the proposed functional component “Recast.ai”. A paid package is offered for corporate clients.

Now the designers of bots are no surprise to anyone, the very concepts of programming and development are gradually fading into the background and being replaced by automatic creation, with little or no user intervention and participation.
