5 Steps to Create and Deploy a Chatbot

STEP 1. Go to the Botpress website, https://botpress.com/, and click “Sign up” in the top right corner to create an account. Botpress offers a free subscription, allowing you to create 5 bots and 2,000 bot triggers.

STEP 2. Log in to your account and go to the Botpress Cloud dashboard, then click the “New bot” button to create your first bot.

STEP 3. Select the bot you created and click the “Edit in studio” button to start editing your chatbot. Depending on the tasks your bot needs to perform, such as event booking, placing orders, welcoming new users, or handling post-sales issues, you can build different conversation flows, import various knowledge bases, and set different responses.

STEP 4. In the Botpress studio dashboard, hold down the shortcut key Ctrl + E (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + E (Mac) to open a chat simulator. You can use this to test your chatbot and experience conversing with it. Click the “…” at the top of the simulator and select “New conversation” or “Start as new user” to reset the conversation. “New conversation” will only delete temporary variables and start a new conversation, while “Start as new user” will delete any saved user variables and start the entire conversation from the beginning.

STEP 5. Once you have finished editing your chatbot, simply click the “Publish” button in the top right corner of the Studio dashboard to deploy your chatbot to the cloud.

In summary, Botpress provides all the necessary tools for building, deploying, and managing AI chatbots, with an intuitive interface. However, despite its user-friendly interface, users with no technical background may still require some learning time.
