Chatbots without a single line of code!
You define the Questions, your customers give the Answers and your Rules drive the conversation.
What is it?
NoCodeBots is a "no-code" web-based application that allows you to build and hold a conversation with your users.
You define sequences of tasks and your users complete them to achieve some learning goals, to track and register completion of the tasks, or to be guided through a series of choices and decisions that lead to some specific information.
A task can be as simple as a single question (“What is your name ?”) or as complex as a project that must be completed and uploaded.
What's it for?
The flexibility of the platform means that it can be used for many purposes.
Typical use-cases include:
- Assisted guidance: customers are guided to advice or information through a series of questions that helps them form an opinion or make a decision.
- Form-filling: customer information is gathered through an interactive conversation that only asks the necessary questions to correctly complete a template letter or official form.
- Directed learning: learners are guided through a series of tasks to build their knowledge and skills.
- Objectives tracking: employees are set a range of objectives to accomplish over an agreed time period, and provide evidence as they complete them.
- Surveys: collect data by asking a set of intelligent, logic-directed questions.

What does it look like ?
Flexible styling
NoCodeBots provides a range of templates, but is API-driven so the styling is completely flexible.
You can embed the questions and input fields into any web application, controlling the appearance using normal HTML and CSS styling to make your chatbot look any way you like.
The included templates are Popup, Bubbles and Quiz as shown below. These responsive templates work equally well on desktop, laptop and mobile devices.
Popup
The Popup template contains an unobtrusive chatbot that is displayed when a transparent overlay icon in the bottom-right of the screen is clicked.
To see a live demo of this template click Volunteering for a Health Service.
Bubbles
This template provides a full-screen chat.
To see this in action, click Will I pay tax on Child Benefit?
Quiz
The Quiz template is used in conjunction with the Quiz component, which makes it quick and easy to set up simple quizzes.
The mobile version of Quiz is shown below, and you can try this template out by clicking on Quiz - Know Your Rights.
Powerful form-filling
NoCodeBots can fill official forms and generate template letters for your users without them having to understand all of the complexities involved.
You simply ask them the relevant questions, skip the ones they don't need to answer and then map the data gathered into a PDF template.
The mapping is child's-play - you just identify the fields on the template form using a simple but powerful markup editor, and the chatbot engine merges your your customer's answers into the template to produce a file for them to download.
To see a live demo of a few answers being merged into an official form click Applying for Child Benefit.
AI-integration
AI integration to platforms such as ChatGPT allows chatbot creators to innovate in new ways to bring your ideas to life. NoCodeBots enables you to build your own AI blocks, and provides standard blocks and rules to expose powerful analytic and engaging functions.
To see a live demo of recommendation and classification functions that would be impossible to build without this capability click Film recommender and "Animal or Plant".
Wizards and docExperts
The docExpert block
Using docExpert blocks you can even upload document or links to web pages into a block, and then ask questions about the contents of the attached data or extract information from them to be used as input to other blocks in your chatbot.
docWizard
For quick testing, you can use the 3-step docWizard: just enter a title for your chatbot, select the document to attach and launch.

Easy-to-use editing and administration
NoCodeBots chatbots are built using a simple "Blocks and Rules" paradigm: Blocks contain the questions that you want to ask and the answers that are given to these, and Rules guide the conversational flow from one block to the next until the user reaches their goal.
The user interface is clean and simple, and presents both list and graphical representations of your designs so that you can easily see the logic that you have created.
To make it even easier to work out what's going on, an interactive debugging environment lets you walk through your chatbot step-by-step, showing the values of your blocks and explaining the logic that has been used to decide which block to move to next:
