  • Drag-and-Drop Functionality: Build conversation flows with ease by dragging and dropping different block types onto the visual canvas.

  • Block Palette: Choose from a variety of pre-built blocks representing diverse chatbot actions, such as sending text messages, displaying buttons or quick replies, requesting user input, and more.

  • Logical Connections: Connect blocks together to define the sequence and logic of the conversation. Create branching paths, conditional responses, and loops to handle different user interactions.

  • Block Customization: Each block offers detailed configuration options to tailor its behavior.

  • Entrypoint: Choose which blocks should be the starting point for a subject specific conversation.

What is a conversation ? When the user interacts with the chatbot, he can have one or many conversations. Each conversation is subject specific and is defined by a set of blocks that are linked together.

AI-Powered Interactions

Natural Language Understanding Engine

Hexabot leverages cutting-edge NLU technology, to understand user intent, extract key information from messages, and tailor personalized responses. This allows for more natural and engaging conversations.

What is NLU ? In simple terms, NLU is a branch of AI that focuses on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and respond to human language in a way that is both meaningful and useful. You can read more about NLU in the Key Concepts section.

  • Intent Recognition: Hexabot's NLU engine analyzes user messages to identify the underlying intent. This understanding drives the chatbot's ability to provide relevant responses and trigger specific actions.

  • Entity Extraction: Identify and extract key information from user input, such as dates, locations, names, or product preferences. This data can be used to personalize the conversation and improve the accuracy of the chatbot's responses.

  • Language Detection: Hexabot can be configured to understand and respond in multiple languages, expanding its reach and usability for diverse audiences.

  • NLU Training and Management: The platform provides tools to train and refine the NLU model. Users can add training examples, define intents and entities, and improve the chatbot's comprehension over time.

Generative AI Capabilities

By default, Hexabot comes with a default installed plugin that is called "LLM RAG" that integrates with OpenAI ChatGPT. You can choose of course to build your own plugin that integrates with a custom fine-tuned LLM or any other LLM. This plugin leverages cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI techniques to enhance your chatbot's contextual understanding and responsiveness. Provide your chatbot with relevant context, and the "LLM RAG" plugin will generate more informative, and human-like responses, resulting in more engaging and satisfying conversations for your audience.

Knowledge Base

Hexabot features a built-in Knowledge Base that serves as a centralized hub for your chatbot. This empowers you to easily update and expand your chatbot's knowledge without requiring changes to the conversation flow itself.

Centralized Content Hub: The Hexabot Knowledge Base provides a central location within the admin panel to manage all the content that your chatbot uses to interact with users. Organize content by type, define custom fields to structure information, and easily edit or update content as needed.

Multilingual Support and Translation Management: Create and manage translations for all of your chatbot's content directly within the Knowledge Base. This enables you to build chatbots that cater to a diverse, multilingual audience, delivering a more personalized and engaging experience for users around the globe.

Multilingual Support and Translation Management

Hexabot provides comprehensive tools for managing multilingual chatbots. Our translation management system allows you to easily translate your chatbot's messages, prompts, and responses. Combined with advanced NLU capabilities for language detection and intent understanding, Hexabot empowers to build chatbots that seamlessly communicate with users in their preferred language.

  • Unified Inbox: Monitor all ongoing and past conversations in a centralized location. Filter and search through conversations to quickly find specific interactions.

You can effortlessly invite new users to join your workspace, making it easy to bring team members, stakeholders, or clients on board. Invitations are sent directly through the platform, allowing for a smooth onboarding process and immediate engagement with your project.

In addition to inviting users, Hexabot enables you to create custom roles with specific permissions. This flexibility allows you to define who has access to particular features and data within your chatbot environment. By assigning roles tailored to each team member's responsibilities, you maintain precise control over your project's access levels. This ensures that sensitive information is protected and that users interact only with the components relevant to their roles, enhancing both security and efficiency.
