I used to think chat-only AI was enough I mean chatgpt has been my therapist for a while now, but over time I realized visuals play a bigger role in immersion for me. It changed how I evaluated platforms entirely. I like the idea that I can roleplay situations. it’s more about being able to replay or reframe situations I’ve actually been in.

This might sound a little weird, but instead of doing shower re-enactments of arguments with my girlfriend in my head, I’ve started processing some of that with an AI companion instead. Seeing the situation play out visually takes the sting out of it and helps me step back emotionally.

It’s made me realize I’m not just a “chat person”, I’m someone who needs to see scenarios to understand and soften them.

Image are not need but just like Bot that has good role play, memory. Thank you.

Let’s be honest, most of the chatbots are kind of okay, and you need to be at-least some what technical to integrate them.

After a lot of research, i wanted to replace it with a voice bot,

Let me share my research to you guys and let me know what you think.

80% of enterprise chatbots are abandoned within 18 months. Half of users bail before finishing a conversation. 84% leave if they don’t get an answer in 2 minutes. And 61% say the bot just “didn’t understand them. i found this article and this one

But here’s why i decided to replace my current chatbot:

Take FASTA as an example, a finance company. Customers kept asking simple things “FAQ” and it broke their chatbot. They switched to voice on Bot, and the results were unreal: support calls dropped 20%, and self-service payments jumped 4000%. Here is the link

Why does voice just work better?

Voice interactions score 4.2/5 in satisfaction versus 3.8/5 for chatbots. i don’t care about a “smarter” AI, i want something easy. Speaking is faster than typing, especially for quick questions. Here is more about this

I found two solid options to replace my current Chatbot:

1. For FAQ-based voice AI (fast, simple, no fees): I went with Etisal AI. You upload your FAQs (pricing, policies, hours), and in minutes, it creates a voice assistant (a unique link to share to anyone) that answers customer questions directly in the browser. It’s free (no per-call fees), incredibly easy to set up, and has been working very good for me. Perfect if you’re in the early stages and want zero friction, it also support summary calls, and blocking spam calls.
2. For full phone system integration (robust, but pricey): Upfirst is a good option too. It integrates directly with your business phone lines, can handle complex call routing, and is built for scale. It’s definitely on the more expensive end, but it’s a complete enterprise solution if you need deep telephony integration.

My experience now? When someone asks, “Where are you located?” or “How can i find this on your website” and gets the answer in 4- 5 seconds, that’s the win. No follow-up. No ticket. Just done.

Let me know if you guys found a better option. or ever tried something similar.

I’ve been seeing more conversations around OurDream website recently, and the opinions seem to be all over the place. Some people talk about it like it’s exactly what they’ve been waiting for, while others sound pretty underwhelmed once the initial excitement wears off. That contrast is what made me curious enough to start this thread and ask for real takes from people who’ve actually used it. Is the chat good?

the idea behind Ourdream sounds great and definitely hits on something a lot of people want. The design looks clean, the concept is appealing, and the uncensored videos look promising and hard to ignore. But as we all know, there’s often a big difference between how something looks at first glance and how it actually performs once you spend real time using it.

If you’ve used it for more than just a quick visit, what was your experience like? I’m also curious about how it compares to alternatives in the same space and whether it offers anything truly unique.

I’ve been coming across JucyChat recently and I’m trying to figure out whether it’s actually good or just another overhyped platform.

Before signing up or spending any time on it, I’d really like to hear from people who’ve actually used it. How was your experience overall? Did it feel legit, or did anything seem off?

I’m especially curious about things like usability, real interactions vs bots, and whether it’s worth the time compared to similar platforms. Good and bad experiences are both welcome, I’m not looking for marketing, just honest opinions.

If you’ve tried JucyChat, I’d appreciate any insight you’re willing to share. Thanks you guys.

We rolled out a model update last week and our chatbot responses went completely sideways. Users started getting inconsistent answers to the same prompts, some borderline inappropriate.

For production monitoring, we now baseline response patterns before any update using automated red team scenarios. Set up drift detection on key metrics like response sentiment, topic classification, and safety scores. Log everything with retention policies that satisfy audit requirements.

The lesson here is never push model updates without proper A/B testing and rollback procedures. Production AI needs the same rigor as any critical system deployment.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an idea and hopefully get some feedback or support. I’m 16 years old, ambitious, and focused on gaining real world experience by building something meaningful.

My idea is to create a high quality chatbot experience using open source software. I would be responsible for setting up and managing the platform, handling the user experience, and maintaining the service. The system would rely on third party AI models, but I’m keeping specific names out for now.

As a pilot project, I’m looking for partners or investors who would be open to supporting the operational costs of running AI models, such as inference and usage expenses. In return, I would handle the technical execution and day to day management of the product. My primary motivation is learning and experience rather than profit, and I’m flexible on structure and expectations.

I understand my age can be a limitation in some cases, but I’m serious, committed, and willing to put in the work. I’m mainly looking for mentorship, financial backing for AI costs, or collaboration with people who enjoy building and experimenting with early stage ideas.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any feedback, advice, or interest is appreciated.

I keep seeing teams swap models hoping smarter AI will fix their chatbot, but the real failure mode is almost always structure, not intelligence. A single-prompt chatbot with no memory, no retrieval discipline and no notion of workflow will fall apart the moment a conversation spans multiple turns, departments or constraints. We ran into this with a mid-size SaaS company whose support bot worked fine for FAQs, but completely collapsed when users asked things like upgrade my plan, apply last month’s credit, and explain why my invoice changed. The bot knew the words it just didn’t know how to reason through the process. What finally worked was treating the system less like a chatbot and more like a conversation-driven service. We split responsibilities: one component to interpret intent, another to fetch verified context (plans, billing rules, user state) and a thin reasoning layer that only answers when evidence is present. Suddenly the same model produced far more reliable answers, because it wasn’t guessing anymore. The big shift was accepting that complex business conversations are really multi-step workflows disguised as chat. If you’re struggling with a bot that sounds fluent but makes bad decisions, you probably don’t need a bigger model you need clearer state, better retrieval and explicit guardrails. Happy to guide anyone working on this.
