However, for several years the old-good free Pandorabot API was working along with a paid version, and our bots were using it. Today, it seems that\u00a0free features of Pandorabot have gone completely &#8211; the old address is not responding anymore.<\/p>\n<h3>Meet Google&#8217;s API.AI<\/h3>\n<p>Thus,\u00a0we&#8217;ve examined the AI chatbots market and decided to switch to Google&#8217;s API.AI (<a href=\"https:\/\/api.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/api.ai\/<\/a>). This is an awesome AI chatbot service which has a single\u00a0disadvantage compared to Pandorabots: the default chatbot setup is rather dumb and requires training. Well, we will.<\/p>\n<p>Some of SmartBots\u00a0bots already\u00a0respond using API.AI, while some are still trying to reach Pandora. This will be solved within a next rolling restart.<\/p>\n<h3>Custom\u00a0AI<\/h3>\n<p>As you may know, previously you were able to setup your own AI chatbot with Pandorabots. API.AI also allows using custom chatbots, so you are welcome to create account at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/api.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/api.ai\/<\/a>, create your own\u00a0AI chatbot and train it. Once you are done, please contact us to\u00a0connect your AI chatbot with SmartBots (this is not an automatic procedure yet but it will).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you may know, SmartBots was using\u00a0AI chatbots made by Pandorabots.
