Whilst your UX looks impressive, the pricing is a major turn off - standard plan works out to about 3cents/request which is going to get out of hand quickly :)
Ilya Gelfenbeyn
@tommoor not really, startup plan is 0.8 cent per request if billed monthly. Annual and other tiers cheaper.
Chris Franco
Thanks for making this!
Jack Dweck
Api.ai was just acquired by Google

*one eyebrow raised* So I know this is a neural net in the background. Are you taking your previous product's data into account in order to get it to work?
Ilya Gelfenbeyn
@shanacarp yes, we are using data from billions of requests we've processed in the last five years
Benjamin Netter
Nice, but we can't retrieve basic informations from Facebook? Do I have to manually ask for the user name?
Rene de Vries
Typo alert: On your home page is says 'fultfillment' :) Other then that, will it support other language besides English?

@gelfenbeyn Congrats on the launch! Very exciting. I played around in your console for a bit. It's quite nice that you guys have some pre-trained responses. Also props for supporting emojis! What differentiates your NLP and machine learning models from the one that wit.ai provides? Asides from that, I can see the value behind an end to end solution πŸ”₯
Ilya Gelfenbeyn
@jonathanzwhite Our main NLP and ML differentiators are based on the volume of dialogs processed (we are processing millions requests a day), training techniques (no need to provide a lot of examples initially, leveraging existing data) and whole dialog creation workflow. I understand, that this answer is not very specific, but you'll see the difference when you try building something with us.

@gelfenbeyn the perfect timing. I was looking for FB bot tools with NLU earlier today. Registered. Will definitely give it a go. Good stuff.

@gelfenbeyn Congrats Ilya and team! This is a great compliment to the newly released Messenger Platform , and is sure to help many bot developers accelerate time to market :)

This seems awesome. Imagine many of us with startups are thinking about integrating this with our services. Thanks, and kudos!
Michael Rosenau
Why would one use this instead of wit.ai?
David Ball
I see emojis are supported, are gifs?
