Introducing: Slack, Google Home support and comments

We’ve been hard at work improving Botsociety! Starting from today you will be able to design and preview your next conversational UI on even more platforms! Just like that, you will be able to choose to design for

Slack

For Slack we wanted to make something different. Slack offers so many possibilities in terms of design: You can have multiple people participating in the conversation, alongside your chatbot. You can have multiple channels. It’s much more common for users to just continue typing. So if you create a Slack design, you will have a giant preview in the middle, and a very powerful tool panel on the right hand side. Let us know what you think!

Google Home (Beta)

Designing for voice is sometimes even more difficult. For Google Home, we think speed and user experience are key. You can now come up with your interaction and then hear it — real time. It’s still in Beta, and we have lots of ideas on how to improve it. Please try it out and let us know how you would like to improve it!

Comments

A much requested feature is finally in. You, your team mate and even people looking at the shared mockups can leave comments to each message. This can be very useful if you are iterating your design (as you should!). At the moment it is not possible to edit or delete comments, but we will roll that out in the next days! (EDIT: it is possible now!)
