Hello hunters π
This is Jiaqi CEO & Co-founder of Landbot.io. Our last launch was four months ago when we first introduced Landbot to the public. We never thought all the attention and interest we would get with the very first version of the product. It caught us by surprise, we felt fortunate but at the same time worried about the state of Landbot at that moment. Then our worst worries became true; many hunters told us that the idea was cool but the product was choppy and we undercooked the execution.
Once we realized our big mistake, the team immediately took action: we change the product to beta and put a waitlist to avoid burning new users. Meanwhile, the dev team started to rebuild the whole platform from scratch. We took incredible feedbacks from users who despite the bad UX of our platform was bearing with us and helped us to find all potential usability issues.
Today, after hundreds of cups of coffees and sleepless nights working on the new version of the platform, I am very proud to present you: Landbot 1.0
We intentionally call it 1.0, because for us this will be the actual starting point to bring value to our users by helping them to build great conversational experiences. We can group most critical changes mainly into three groups:
-Frictionless experience for final users:
New landbot interface and animations.
Returning visitor recognition.
Improved navigability with Menu button.
-Easy bot building process:
Template system
Optimized chatbot builder.
Real-time design editor.
Multiple embedding formats.
-Effortless lead managing tools:
API Integrations
Notifications system
Human take over
New Analyze section
Finally, I'd like to thank our existing users for their support and feedbacks. I can't stress enough to say that Landbot 1.0 is only the start, so I would immensely appreciate the PH community to give us another chance. Help us to humanize websites by turning it into beautiful conversational experiences. We are eager to hear all your feedback about the new version!
I truly believe in the direction landbot is heading, enabling makers to utilise a bot without having to chose a platform is powerful. Using Landbot as a landing page will increase conversion as users will be guided by the bot through the customer journey. I am working on a product build with landbot, i cant wait to share it with the product hunt community soon. #Landbot1.0
Pros:
Amazing product :) looks good and easy to use
Cons:
Integration is not easy, but i am sure the team is busy building a simple process for integration within Landbot.I have faith in the team :)
Well, this is lovable and looks like Upcoming 'Ship' page of ProductHunt. I have enrolled it as one of the beta tester and enjoying everybit of it. Congratulations Team. :)
@niteshmanav thanks, Nitesh! Upcoming pages are absolutely great, we have been using it ourselves! It has inspired us in many ways to design the conversational experiences :) Also quick shout out to @nickabouzeid from PH team for his constant help :)

Brilliant product, excited to see where it goes. Fun to use if you enjoy trying to create engaging and human conversational flows. *nerd alert*
Two things I don't love: 1. Needs work for our mobile visitors. Looks zoomed out and far from optimal for a mobile visitor, a bad experience on this is worse than no experience at all, so a bit of a showstopper for me at the moment, for risk of providing a bad experience (no way of tracking or following this experience to check it's going smooth for mobile visitors, so a tiny risk to go live with if have lots of visitors on mobile)
Secondly, at the end of every flow on the freemium a "share this Landbot" button appears alongside a CTA to create their own. Obviously, I get it, it's a free product, do what you want. If I want to remove that, I can pay to do so. Just my personal opinion, and more feedback than a request, is that I think it's a bad time to "Hijack" MY visitors attention to market YOUR product at what is often for these forms, the critical moment, the end. They're at a decision crossroads. We've just exchanged information, i've taken them on this journey, and then BAM, you come and sweep them off their feet and they forget all the sweet nothings they and i whispered to each other.
My only point is, IF others have this gripe too, they might leave and not give the product a chance to become part of their paid stack, instead of upgrading straight away to remove this barrier to them. If this barrier didn't exist, (your branding is still on the page top right anyway), they may implement, become an active user, and give you plenty of time to convert them to a paid plan as you continue to execute and improve the product from now on out.
Keep up the great work.
Pros:
The concept is fantastic. Really like it. Nearly perfect if you have a need for exactly this...I do.
@christophrmite Thanks for the comment! We donΒ΄t use any crawler, you can just build the conversational flow with our builder and then integrate it on your own website :)
Here you can see few examples:

Nice job here, guys, just created an account, canβt wait to see how this really affects lead generation. Which other use cases are the most common for these conversational webs?
@fran007 really appreciate the comment! The best use case we have seen so far is without doubt lead generation. On the other hand, many users have found landbot useful for product onboarding and customer surveys. We are still in early days, so would love to see how people can use Landbot in creative ways :)

Congrats guys! We want to use Landbot.io to create a demo of our app based chatbot in our website. Can't wait to try it ;)
