Indie Chatbot Platform Builders - Alternatives to c.ai

Anyone here building a chatbot platform (as an alternative to c.ai?) Hi everyone :) I’m a tech and AI reporter at the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) in London (previously Business Insider). I’m reporting on the smaller chatbot platforms and apps popping up as alternatives to the bigger players like c.ai, and would love to speak with anyone who’s built one, is mid-build, or has tried to launch one. Keen to hear why you got into it, how it’s going, the tricky bits, and what’s good about doing it independently. Happy to chat over DM (DMs open), email, Signal, (both below) phone or video call - and can keep it anonymous or on background🙏 Email: [email redacted] / Signal: @efw.40 Thanks!! Effie x
