Keywords Update: AI Keywords coming soon 🔥

Hi Manychatters! I’m sure many of you will notice a LOVELY change when you go create a Keyword Trigger ✨ First of all, you will notice the trigger now says: contact sends a message! This will now be the way to create automations attached to DMs on all text channels. Why? Because Manychat will soon support AI keywords, these work based on the intention behind a message, not specific words! So imagine you're creating a trigger for your store's location, here’s the difference:  Keywords: location, located, address, adress, addres, etcAI Intention: contact asks about store’s location This way it will recognize even the craziest of phrases, such as “hey, I wanna drive there but dont know where you are" To know more about this soon to come feature click this link: Go Learn More

Manychat + ChatGPT Hybrid: The best of both worlds

I know we all love our perfectly crafted conversations we’ve been creating with ManyChat for a while now.And we all also love the flexibility of AI, and would love to have an AI bot that’s perfectly on brand, can understand user intentions and at the same time use our perfect conversations to get our customers over the line.Achieving this AI can be quite a challenge though.One way I’ve been using ManyChat + ChatGPT/OpenAI is with a hybrid approach:I use ChatGPT to read what the user entered and interpret that better than any keyword could have done. Then we use ManyChat conditions to direct the customer to the right path in our ManyChat bot. Add to this a bit of AI-generated content, and you get the best of both worlds!Here’s an example of how this is done: How have you been using AI with ManyChat so far?Do you think this use case can be useful for you and your clients?

Restaurant Chatbot Best Practices and Ideas

I would love to start a thread about best practices and cool things everyone is doing with Restaurants and ManyChat. I recently took on a Restaurant Group with 5 concepts and locations across many states. We are doing builds slightly different for each concept but overall I do have a core structure for my builds which include: Welcome message/quick start menu Return menu flow (So when they come back they are greeted differently) Info Capture: I like to capture email first followed by RN opt in then phone if needed by client. Giving the user a choice along the way. Generally we give a free appetizer or dessert after they sign up. Restaurant Info can include: Mobile Friendly Menu, Reservations (generally connected to Open Table), Hours, Location, call button.I do other things but this is the core. My favorite and most used growth tools:Comment Growth Tool URL connected to a NFC QR Code Also keyword and mention triggers on IGI have found that most of our restaurant concepts want to stay a

Functional AND lovable chatbots, they can be both!

4 Ways To Improve User ExperienceWe all know that one of the most attractive functions of a chatbot is to provide us with transactional conversations, both faster than email and with more people than phone calls. When the number of sales goes up and the time it takes us to make them goes down, everyone is happy, and that’s why chatbots are here to stay. However, a chatbot built solely to be transactional can leave plenty of money on the table, mostly in the the lifetime value of a customer. Loyalty programmes and gamification has been a great way of improving this user experience (often shortened to UX) but I like teaching my students to go further and decorate their flows and making the conversations more enjoyable for the user.  Here are four of the tips I have for this: Understand and Anticipate User Needs: The first step in optimising a chatbot's UX is to thoroughly understand your users' needs and expectations. This is super easy if you are working with a client who’s team has log
