Hi HN,
I'm launching Choosify (https://choosify.chat), a website plugin for live chat / customer support.
It allows you to chat with website visitors directly via Slack. Conversations can be partially automated using a flow builder.
The main reasons for developing Choosify are:
1) Chatbot platforms like Dialogflow are too complicated for the average user regarding input/output context.
2) Intercom is terribly expensive :)
Recently more Intercom alternatives have been launched (cough Papercups (YC S20) cough). However, Choosify is unique in the way it allows you to set up automated messages and responses.
I hope this will help you to talk to your customers. The free tier should be sufficient for the average user. (Billing is not yet implemented, so it's 100% free for now.)
Features:
- Customizable lightweight plugin
- Automated replies using code-free flow builder
- Reply from Slack
- Free tier and affordable pricing based on how many messages you send/receive
- Golang backend, Vue/Nuxt.js frontend
Please let me know your thoughts. Any feedback is welcome, thanks!
