Botsheets is a powerful SaaS platform that enables businesses and agencies to easily create AI chatbots that seamlessly integrate with their Google Sheets data. The platform was designed to solve the common challenges of keeping AI systems in sync with constantly evolving data sources. With Botsheets, users can connect their Google Sheets, PDFs, and web pages as data sources, and the platform's AI engine will automatically keep the chatbots up-to-date with the latest information. This allows businesses to leverage the power of conversational AI to engage with customers, generate leads, provide support, and generate insights - all while maintaining full control over the data they share. The platform's no-code interface makes it easy for anyone to build and customize chatbots, even without technical expertise. Users can match the chatbot's branding and tone to their business, remove Botsheets branding, and use their own domain name. Developers also have the flexibility to use the platform's API to build custom applications. Whether you're looking to streamline lead generation, enhance customer support, or extract valuable insights from your data, Botsheets provides a turnkey solution to transform your spreadsheets into engaging conversational experiences. The platform's multi-language capabilities, customizable rules, and privacy-first approach make it an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes, from internal use cases to public-facing chatbots.
Chatbots read data and also collect and write data to a spreadsheet.
Add multiple sheets, PDFs, and webpages to a single chatbot.
Connect data sources once. We keep AI in sync with your data changes.
Add a widget, embed chat into a page, or share a direct link.
Customize the look, the tone, even use your own domain name.
Chatbot setup is relatively simple. However it simply makes stuff up. Even on simple dataset w few dozen rows. Several other products either confusing or gimmicky.
I just love the idea of having a chatbot that getting real time info from google sheets and also much more than that! , I tried many tools but this is the best one.
In addition to that, the support team is amazing, fast response and also personal help with a video call! What can I say more? Probably one of my best purchases on appsumo :)
Love how fast I can crank out bots with botsheets. Only wish is that there was a way to know how much data each bot used so I could re-bill clients based on usage. Other than that, love it! Cinco tacos!
**Review for Botsheet**
I have several bots in use, including Botsheet. Overall, I quite like Botsheet, although I must admit that my experiences are based on the test operation and not on productive use. I will elaborate on the reasons for this later.
On the whole, all important features are present. A particularly positive aspect is the recently added option for an optional confirmation regarding data protection. Another advantage is the ability to store data directly in Google Sheets. However, I have not yet tried chatting with a sheet. Everything is fine and up-to-date.
What has held me back from using the bot productively so far are the connections of websites as data sources for the bot's training. Unlike other solutions where it suffices to provide the domain and subsequently all subpages are captured and used for training, Botsheet requires each page to be specified individually. With more than 100 subpages, this becomes too cumbersome. I hope this changes in the future.
Overall, I give it 4 tacos.
Botsheets is the best chatbot I've used so far, and I've used A LOT of them.
The quality of this tool, along with the ease of setting it up, and its extensive tutorials and documentation place it amongst my top purchases on AppSumo yet (and I'm kind of a collector here, so that's saying a lot).
With that being said, I do miss a few features that would *really* make Botsheets the perfect chatbot:
1) Credit limitations per bot:
As an agency, we might want to resell and/or give access to Botsheets to our clients. Sure, I know that clients can already add their own OpenAI keys, but as an agency, we might want clients to purchase credits directly from us, and have full control over their usage of Botsheets from a single dashboard. Beyond being a much-needed agency feature, this would also help make sure that even if one of our own bots falls victim to a "spam attack", it won't use up all our credits before we even notice.
2) Set the bot's default language:
I'm really missing the option to set the bot's default language in the "Rules" settings. I know the bot can respond in the visitors' native language, but it would still be nice to have a default language set up – and then the bot could always switch from there if needed. This setting should be regardless of what language my training data is in – I might train the bot in English or on English data/materials, but then require it to talk to French-speaking customers, for example.
3) Human take-over option:
I want to be able to monitor ongoing chats in real-time, and take over a chat if needed. I know this is a big feature request, since it would (probably) require a separate dashboard for every bot (possibly even white-labelled with a CNAME for agencies). But in the long-run, this is an absolute must. This would let me step in if the bot is taking the conversation in the wrong direction, or if I see that I have a "hot lead" that I can potentially convert on the spot. Not having this option is the single most significant area that Botsheets falls behind some of the other chatbots that are around (while definitely having an edge on these chatbots in literally every other area).
4) Let me rewrite anything within the bot:
This is just a tiny request, but it would be nice to customize, rewrite, or translate the labels and/or default texts within the bot/dashboards. This feature would mostly be useful for translation purposes (allowing users to translate anything themselves), but I can also imagine other use cases too.
5) More customization options:
It would be nice to be able to fine-tune certain things in Botsheets, regarding how it interacts with users... For example, let's say I'd like to train its writing style (beyond saying just "Witty", for example) to write like me, specifically; or change the speed of typing/responding to inquiries; or add our logo, website, or branded text to the chatbot; or even set the maximum amount of responses it can provide before handing off the conversation to human automatically – I should be able to set all of these on a bot-level.
Grab this deal while you can, Botsheets is already amazing!
And if the devs could perhaps consider adding these additional features, then Botsheets would no longer be "one of the better chatbots out there". No, it would easily become "the best chatbot in existence". Period.
..and I've tried a LOT of them.
Closed a deal 99% on autopilot and paid for it in one transaction!
Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and have begun using this on a daily basis.
PROS:
- Easy setup. I had a functioning chatbot up and running in 5 minutes.
- Returns perfect answers 99% of the time
- Answer fast
- Clean, simple UI
- Tier 3 offers phenomenal value with easy branding & domain controls
CONS:
- It can only read from the 1 default tab in a connected Google Sheet. If you have multiple tabs, you need to upload them separately to add to the knowledgebase
- Sometimes it didn't return complete answers (Example: My data set has over 1K rows. I asked a question and it should have returned data from 5 rows but it only returned 3)
Despite the minor drawbacks, Botsheets is a keeper for me and perfect for my use case.
5 TACOS! Thanks app sumo and Botsheets team!
Ok in the last year, Appsumo has launched several AI chatbots similar to Botsheets.
Chatbase, Orimon...to name a couple of more notable ones. The million dollar question...
Is Botsheets the same or better?
Chatbase is strong for their API but support is non-existent. Orimon started out promising but now is a hot mess as their founder got too greedy.
What sets Botsheets apart is the active community and awesome support from Josh and Joseph. I had some issues with redemption and they sorted it out like the champs that they are today. Issue resolved in less than 24 hours. Imagine that.
The sky's the limit for Botsheet if Josh and team keep this up.
I bought this for my community and website. I have so many use cases for it. One thing I love is that the answers aren't just generic. You can customize them based on your niche and brand voice. One of my favorites is that it can actually pull website information. This tool will attract more traffic to your site as people return to interact with the AI.
Good luck! I hope you get more sales! Also, don't listen to those negative reviews from people who just hate AppSumo. Test, decide and buy.
I've been using the Botsheets app (Dynamic Galleries) for ManyChat since 2019, and I've always loved the quality of their products.
This is a team that isn't here to make every wish come true. But to build on what's already available and to keep the performance at levels that meet the highest standards.
Josh Barking, one of the co-founders, isn't new to AI at all. He's also the founder of Janis, another SASS that integrates ManyChat with DialogFlow.
I follow Josh closely on Social Media, as I always learn something new about AI from the responses he's been giving to users all these years.
He's a guy who understands what AI needs and should be.
Now that Botsheets is embracing AI, I'm super happy to support their vision to integrate Google Sheets with Open AI for lead generation.
This version will be the more powerful, reliable platform that you can use to create an effective lead generation system powered by AI.
Chatbase and other similar competitors are just not gonna be able to catch up to the experience and performance Botsheets can provide.
My name is Roverd, and I trust Botsheets. BTW I'm also mexican and tacos is my expertise, so I give Botsheets 1000 tacos!
This was so easy to set up! It’s so simple to update! I highly recommend!
I noticed that when you update the data points, save, then immediately update the prompt rules, while it saves, it seems like it reverts back to not having the data points. I usually go back to the dashboard, then back to the settings to see the new saved information.
Wishlist:
More than 1 custom domain
Custom URL slugs
Prompt rule examples and best practices
More documentation
Example implementations
This is already an incredible tool on its own. I whipped up a quick demo for a potential client using their website; it's ready to go and already personalised for them! I did not even utilise Google Sheets yet, which is their bread and butter, or make one using flow builder.
These awesome team behind it have been in the game since before AI was even a buzzword. They've been quietly perfecting their craft for quite sometime now. So if you're still not on board, well, that's your loss.
I really like what I've seen in the roadmap thus far, but this tool has not really reached its full potential yet. Imagine adding some snazzy new features, bells, and whistles to it...like OCR cough cough**
