Please help me find a AI chatbot/image generator that meets this criteria lol.

Images:

A. Actually follows the prompt

B. No censorship

C. Creates images based on the chat. Aka if we are roleplaying about petting a puppy it shows her petting the puppy. Not just a random one of her smiling.

1. Good memory

A. Doesn’t forget a specific detail I’ve shared 5 messages ago

1. Cost

A. I understand qualify has a cost. But at least make it reasonable!

I’ve subscribed to quite a few but I’ve yet to find one that actually creates images based on the conversation you are having. They all require an exact prompt.

Would love suggestions.

I have been programming for 12 years and also run a service based business in Miami which requires booking and was facing some issues with the booking page of my site but building this plugin actuallly made a difference in my insights and handliung traffic on my site.

From my analytics monitoring tool I notice a spike that a decent number of people were landing on to the site, going though the pricing, services page but a very few number ended up in the booking page. Therefore, to make this pipeline easy and convinient I had to create a custom chatbot with the ability to call an n8n webhook

Did not publish it in the plugins directory tho as this is only targeted for my usecase

Tech stack I used:

• PHP + React for frontend widget
• n8n for the backend workflow
• deepseekv3.2 from deepinfra
• MySQL database (the chatbot checks availability, pricing, and service details directly from here)

How it works
The chat widget appears at the bottom right corner of every page and people can ask about services, pricing, availabity etc. If someone wants to book a desires service they just type and fill in the necessary questions like their perfonal information, date, designated location and also the bot responds with if this service is available for that date. Once all the required placeholders are filled, it fires a webhook to n8n that triggers the workflow in n8n

n8n then creates the actual booking entry in wordpress -> sends confirmation emails to both the client and me -> handles the whole process without leaving the chat and then delivers the confirmation message

This idea is more natural than filling out a form, and lazy people dont want to… pretty happy that it turned out well but I’m worried about if the tech stack for this plugin is appropriate. A review on the tech stack would be really helpful for me

help

right now I am using Chatgpt and it’s not straightforward…

I am not doing productive things anymore like not reading lit

too addicted

Been building AI chatbots and voice agents for a few months now, mainly targeting real estate businesses. My current outreach is cold emails and WhatsApp messages — open rates are okay but conversions are basically zero.

I’m not here to pitch anything. Just genuinely curious how others in this sub landed their first few niche clients — especially if you were going after a specific vertical like real estate, home services, healthcare, etc.

A few things I’m wondering:

∙ Did cold outreach ever work for you, or did you get traction a different way? ∙ How specific was your targeting? (Industry, company size, geography?) ∙ Was there a demo or proof of concept that actually moved people? ∙ Any platform that worked better — LinkedIn, Reddit DMs, Upwork, local Facebook groups? 

My hypothesis is that my messaging is too generic and I’m not hitting the right pain point. But open to being completely wrong. What did your first real conversion actually look like?

just wondering, do you guys actually want your AI companion to do useful stuff?

been thinking about this lately, apps like Replika and c.ai have massive engagement, but they’re basically pure conversation. meanwhile tools like ChatGPT and Claude are useful but totally different.

Seems like there’s an obvious gap here? Something that combines the relationship layer with actual task execution, but I’m not sure if that’s something people actually want, or if adding utility would break the magic.

for those of you who use both types of apps, what’s your experience? do you wish your companion could do real things, or does keeping them separate work better?

Genuine question to this community.

Every chatbot platform I’ve looked at measures response time, deflection rate, CSAT. None of them measure: was the answer actually correct?

The bot could be confidently wrong 40% of the time and the dashboard would show “great performance” because tickets were “resolved.”

I’ve been building a support agent that does this — tracks accuracy per topic category based on real human feedback. When the bot has been wrong too often on a specific topic → automatic handoff instead of guessing.

Live demo if anyone wants to try it: https://7611-2a00-6020-479c-a300-fd00-39bb-6853-6da8.ngrok-free.app

Try asking a shipping question (bot answers) vs. a medical question (bot hands off). That’s the whole idea — answer only what you actually know.

Would love to hear from people running chatbots in production: how do you currently catch when your bot is wrong? Manual log review? Customer complaints? Or do you just not know?

“I’ve spent the last year looking at how mid-sized businesses handle customer communication, and I noticed a massive pattern: The ‘DM Fragmentation’ Trap.

Most teams have sales reps on personal WhatsApp numbers, a support person on Instagram, and an intern checking Facebook.

The Result?

1. Data Silos: The CEO has zero visibility into what’s actually being said to customers.
2. Slow Response: Leads go cold in 5 minutes, but the team takes 2 hours to see the notification.
3. Burnout: Support teams answering the same “What is the price?” or “Where is my order?” question 100 times a day.

How we solved this (The Framework): We moved away from ‘chatting’ and toward an ‘Official API System.’ Here is the exact stack we implemented:

• Centralized Shared Inbox: Every message from WhatsApp, IG, and SMS now hits one dashboard. No more ‘Who’s handling this?’
• The 80/20 Rule with AI: We built a no-code bot to handle the 80% of routine FAQs (Price, Location, Tracking). This leaves the team to handle the 20% that actually requires a human to close the sale.
• The CRM Bridge: We finally synced the chats to our CRM . Now, if a customer chats on WhatsApp, the sales record updates automatically.

The Impact: Our response time dropped from 45 mins to <1 min (instant for FAQs), and our conversion rate jumped because no lead is ‘forgotten’ in a hidden folder anymore.

I’m happy to share the logic we used for the automation flows or how we got the Official Business API setup if anyone is struggling with the same mess.

What are you guys using to manage high-volume WhatsApp/Social sales? Any tips on keeping it organized?“
