if tawk to can integrate with dialogflow from google chat bot its sould be marvelous

There should be a register button on top of the site for the new customers and experts who wants to take services. Furthermore, there should be a chat option and a robot who will help explain the site properly to the newbies. The robot should answer the asked questions in the chat.

Compraria sem medo! Urgente...

In the past we have used a system that could create an auto-answer based on the words in the question. Then an auto-answer comes back to the user. Example in our case :

How can we use BTT ?
(auto-answer) based on BTT key word

Automatic response by special word recognition

The first chat message to appear could say something like, "Hi, how can we help you?" and follow with pre-determined (customizable) clickable text options such as "Request a Quote", "Contact Information", "Speak to a Human". This would eliminate a lot of wasted time when responding to bots/extraneous messages.

A sort of trigger where we can set possible answers between which the customer must choose. Based on the answer he selects, he will be given another answer from the chat and so on.

You must take this tool to the next level with a bot or integration with an external service such as DialogFlow.

It's already urgent.

PS: until you could charge some cost for this additional feature...

Instead of inventing your own AI just intergrate with Google's Dialogflow

as

Yes please❗️Add a chat bot

I think it will be very good feature.

to do it, first, it need API for communication with bot.
if bot can catch message from tawk API, then it can analyze and feedback to tawk API.
and make trigger when customer sent message, it action to sent it to the bot using API stuff.
and response it to customer.

so, if we get some value such as - customer id, massage, time... from API...
that is enough to communicate with bot.

Yes, I want same.

if you will add chatbot in you plugin then tawk.to would be the No. 1 chat module in the world.

I would add this would be usefull for those times when you are offline. (ie. a simple response is better than no response).

Looking to have chatbots in tawk.to

After reading through the comments on this suggestion, I strongly believe that it has to be a mix of both AI and human communication with the customer. An example could be where the Autobot responds to the basic questions of customers and then if the AI falls short, they should invite the human in this case.

Example:

(Let's assume that the business in question is an online training provider. We would call our AI as Ali & the Customer as Sean here)

Ali: Hello & welcome to our site! What would you like to know about?
Course 1
Course 2
Course 3

Sean: Course 2

Ali: That's great! Course 2 is ...... (the answer that has been stored in advance)

Ali: Is there anything else that I can help you with?

Sean: Yes, is there a discount available for booking more people?

Ali: Let me add my manager Raj in this conversation as he deals with discounts.

Sean: Alright!

(This is where Raj hears the bell and joins the conversation)

Raj: Hello Sean! How many learners are you looking at?

Sean: 4 people on Course 2

Raj: I'll be more than happy to offer you 10% discount on the course fee for this. Kindly give me your email id and I'll send you our bank details for the payment.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

I believe the above example makes it clear that it can all be a combination of AI plus human intervention. :)

I love using your service and thank you for your great work, i am thinking tawk.to should have a robot chat which i can train from my frequent reply that can always reply from knowledge base when i am offline. Just like livechat24-7.com

first thing the visitor needs is an answer to his questions. when the bot can give nice answers then they will be happy.
