Is there a way to detect the language from the user first message, any provide further questions in the desired language? or i will need to explicitly ask the user about his/her language regardless of their first message language?For example, if the user say “Hi” , i can reply in engligh, if they say “Salut” i will reply in french without explicitly asking them about their language. is such a language detection possible?

 

Thanks

@sota you can use AI to detect the language at the beginning.

You can use Manychat’s native integrations (OpenAI, Claude, etc) to do this, and then redirect them to the corresponding automations.

@Gustavo Boregio  or i can use the manychat AI module without any integration ? so i send it the text and ask for the language , is this also an option?

I don’t think you’ll be able to do that, but give it a go!

I’d try with one of the AI integrations under Settings > Integrations.
