Storyline - Create voice apps without coding

by
Ambassador

Storyline makes it easy for non-tech people to create, test, and publish complex voice applications in minutes, using templates and visual mind-map interface. There is no need to code anything or setup servers. It’s like a Squarespace for voice apps.

Thanks for sharing Storyline, @chrismessina! Hey everyone, welcome to Storyline! 👏 15 years ago, when I was watching Star Trek, I was amazed. They could literally make machines do something using only their voice. Now, it’s happening everywhere. There’s no doubt that voice applications are going to completely change the way we all live our daily lives. But the creation of voice apps is still broken. We believe that you don’t have to be a developer to share your story and create a presence in the emerging voice space. We keep complex tech behind the scenes and make it easy to create, test, and publish voice apps in minutes, using simple mind-map interface and pre-built templates. There’s no need to code anything and setup servers. And this is all available today! Sign up for Storyline and let us know if we’ve simplified the process of creating voice apps. P.S. check out our special template for Product Hunt, it’s fun and has a question about @rrhoover! 😉

@vasili_shinkorenko Nice one, thanks! I've just set up a simple app to ask my kids in the morning if they're feeling happy or sad, and respond accordingly (with a 'great! have a fun day' if they're happy, or a joke if they're sad). I can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning! There's a load of potential in this!

Looks awesome! Do you plan to support templates? We'd love to add voice bots to https://botmakers.net.
Vasili Shynkarenka
@agamanyuk that's the secret plan! Our app makers already built a few ready to use :) We definitely need to chat 😉
Oleksandr Gamaniuk
@vasili_shinkorenko sounds good, let's start with something simple and see how It goes. We have good organic traffic for alexa skills on chatbottle.co, I believe there is a demand.
Matthew Clementson
The simplest of interfaces, nice work! How do you anticipate connecting to 3rd party services?
Vasili Shynkarenka
@matthew_clementson that's the most requested feature right now! We are going to integrate with Zapier first and give you an ability to create an API module right from the canvas (like @mygooglespreadsheet). Then you'll have another tab where you can set up & customize these API modules
Matthew Clementson
@vasili_shinkorenko nice, I think Zapier opens a lot of doors very quickly. Looking forward to see where it's implemented within the UI. Which useful usecases have you seen prior to allowing 3rd party integrations.

@vasili_shinkorenko Would love a way to query an API and parse the JSON response. Your UI for setting up the flow is great, but maybe take a look at Losant's UI for parsing JSON when the time comes. But this is definitely the easiest method I've seen for creating a skill.

Absolutely in love with this!

@treggify Thanks a lot!

@maximabramchuk Of course! I'm going to be using this next semester for my thesis project.

@treggify Awesome, I'm excited!
Tregg
@maximabramchuk Same! Since I'm a designer first, it makes rapidly prototyping a VUI way easier. Literally one of the coolest products I've seen launched related to voice. Clearly people here are stoked on it. I'll be sure to provide any insights I may have after using it heavily, if you're interested!
Vasili Shynkarenka
@maximabramchuk @treggify very interested, you can message us anytime in Intercom or hit me up on Twitter/Facebook! Thanks!

Excited to build something!

Pros:

Super Simple. Makes it so easy for a beginner to work with Alexa.

Cons:

None.

This is such a simple tool to design conversations. I remember following a workshop on chatbot summit in Berlin from Amazon. So complicated with github etc... this is flawless! Great 👍 work!
