a few weeks ago I had the idea of creating a chatbot based on the Facebook Messenger, where users can create their own landing pages just by chatting with the chatbot. I tried to implement a first (very simple) MVP using Bubble and a lot of conditional statements . It does work quite well now.
I just wanted to ask what you think of the general idea and how doable it would be in Bubble. I see some issues such as the âunfriendlyâ URL Structure of Bubble and the fact that the number of conditional statements that I will have to use is ridiculous.
Building a logic with a chatbot sounds pretty complicated to do in Bubble, and honestly it doesnât sound like the best choice for a project like this. You may be able to solve the chat part with some clever use of APIâs, but I think youâll run into difficulties. Bubble is great for building apps that create, read, update and delete database records (so-called CRUD), but is not great for building complex algorhithms and dynamically updated designs.
Three things though, before I crush your hopes entirely:
I may be misunderstanding what youâre trying to achieve
Someone with more knowledge than myself from similar projects may chip in/disagree with me
Bubble may still work to build a functioning demo/simple MVP to show off the idea and get some interest, even if it means switching to another technology to build the final product
There are much better solutions out there built specifically for building chatbots, I think youâll be swimming against the current by trying to use Bubble for it.
Ok thank you for the replies!
Just to make it clear, the actual bot is built using the tools from http://manychat.com ,
I was just planning to use Bubble for the actual website creation and not the chatbot logic.
. It does work quite well now.
