Storyline - Create voice apps without coding

by

Storyline makes it easy for non-tech people to create, test, and publish complex voice applications in minutes, using templates and visual mind-map interface. There is no need to code anything or setup servers. It’s like a Squarespace for voice apps.

Looks awesome! Do you plan to support templates? We'd love to add voice bots to https://botmakers.net.

@agamanyuk that's the secret plan! Our app makers already built a few ready to use :) We definitely need to chat 😉

@vasili_shinkorenko sounds good, let's start with something simple and see how It goes. We have good organic traffic for alexa skills on chatbottle.co, I believe there is a demand.

Thanks for sharing Storyline, @chrismessina! Hey everyone, welcome to Storyline! 👏 15 years ago, when I was watching Star Trek, I was amazed. They could literally make machines do something using only their voice. Now, it’s happening everywhere. There’s no doubt that voice applications are going to completely change the way we all live our daily lives. But the creation of voice apps is still broken. We believe that you don’t have to be a developer to share your story and create a presence in the emerging voice space. We keep complex tech behind the scenes and make it easy to create, test, and publish voice apps in minutes, using simple mind-map interface and pre-built templates. There’s no need to code anything and setup servers. And this is all available today! Sign up for Storyline and let us know if we’ve simplified the process of creating voice apps. P.S. check out our special template for Product Hunt, it’s fun and has a question about @rrhoover! 😉

@vasili_shinkorenko Nice one, thanks! I've just set up a simple app to ask my kids in the morning if they're feeling happy or sad, and respond accordingly (with a 'great! have a fun day' if they're happy, or a joke if they're sad). I can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning! There's a load of potential in this!

Absolutely in love with this!

@treggify Thanks a lot!

@maximabramchuk Of course! I'm going to be using this next semester for my thesis project.

@treggify Awesome, I'm excited!

@maximabramchuk Same! Since I'm a designer first, it makes rapidly prototyping a VUI way easier. Literally one of the coolest products I've seen launched related to voice. Clearly people here are stoked on it. I'll be sure to provide any insights I may have after using it heavily, if you're interested!
Vasili Shynkarenka
@maximabramchuk @treggify very interested, you can message us anytime in Intercom or hit me up on Twitter/Facebook! Thanks!

The simplest of interfaces, nice work! How do you anticipate connecting to 3rd party services?
Vasili Shynkarenka
@matthew_clementson that's the most requested feature right now! We are going to integrate with Zapier first and give you an ability to create an API module right from the canvas (like @mygooglespreadsheet). Then you'll have another tab where you can set up & customize these API modules
Matthew Clementson
@vasili_shinkorenko nice, I think Zapier opens a lot of doors very quickly. Looking forward to see where it's implemented within the UI. Which useful usecases have you seen prior to allowing 3rd party integrations.

@vasili_shinkorenko Would love a way to query an API and parse the JSON response. Your UI for setting up the flow is great, but maybe take a look at Losant's UI for parsing JSON when the time comes. But this is definitely the easiest method I've seen for creating a skill.

Excited to build something!

Pros:

Super Simple. Makes it so easy for a beginner to work with Alexa.

Cons:

None.

Vasili Shynkarenka
Thanks James!
Jiaqi Pan
Congrats for the launch! Love the interface, would be interesting to see more template.
Vasili Shynkarenka
@jiaqip thank you! We'll add more templates soon, along with the gallery of best apps 👌
Dominique Dejonghe
This is such a simple tool to design conversations. I remember following a workshop on chatbot summit in Berlin from Amazon. So complicated with github etc... this is flawless! Great 👍 work!
Vasili Shynkarenka
@dominique thanks Dominique, appreciate that!
Artem Goldman
Amazing! I need more templates! Great work!
Vasili Shynkarenka
@goldman_artem we'll add more next week!
Kevin Guebert
Wow, this product is 👌👌👌 Reminds me a bunch of Twine (https://twinery.org/) - the text based non-linear story creator, but you guys have managed to take something similar to that and allow users to create Alexa apps!

@kevinguebert Thanks, Kevin! Yea, I've used Twine before, it's great, but we're taking it to the next level 🔥

I’ve always been thinking about building Alexa skill to surprise my girlfriend, but was struggling with the tech part. Just built it on Storyline in about 10 minutes, and playing with it on my Alexa right now. It’s insanely simple. Keep it up, guys 🔥

Pros:

super easy visual interface, quick up-and-running process

Cons:

Nothing

Glad to hear that, I hope your girlfriend will love it!
