I used https://www.flow.club/ which i found very helpful, they do small groups rather than one on one, and you can sign up ahead of time or join spontaneously
This article didn't really say all too much, essentialy you can't differentiate your product with prompts alone, and you need deeper integrations with workflows, ok thats pretty clear - what else?
I appreciate your appeal for further information from people not likely to participate in this forum. Do you yourself have any additional information or argument that would be of interest?
Hey, happy to clear up the confusion! The software is similar to a CRM in that we message users/customers, though we don’t track things like the stage of a sales deal.
Our software and competitors like Braze are typically used in situations where you can’t have a personal connection, but still need to message users, often when they complete specific actions in your application, or if you want to send one-off promotions for example. E-commerce brands or a banking app might use us for example.
We do support replacement variables like you mentioned and are adding integrations actively.
Replacement variables are not very discoverable in the docs (I only found them after your comment, by using the ai assistant), and the docs don't reflect the app I see in your demo account (I see no personalize button when editing a template, and I don't know what it would do if it were there). I would recommend fleshing out the docs and linking them and/or the ai assistant in the app to make features more discoverable. twilio and stripe carved their market even more with documentation and code snippets than with features. Also, having a tier or three between 1 + 2 would be absolutely essential if you ever desired to get smaller businesses to use your product.
If you're interested in an enterprise plan, we help you set up and scale self-hosting as part of the support contract for as long as you need. We have one-click infra-as-code to get you set up on multiple cloud providers with minimal devops intervention.
If you want to self host for free, the easiest way would be to run our docker compose on a compute instance-we're in the process of updating our docs for self hosting and I can email you with more info if you'd like.
We have support for twilio natively since that's one of the popular options, but we also support webhooks as a channel, so if your Asterisk server has an HTTP endpoint that can trigger messages it would be compatible.
It was fun writing this article, not only because it reminded me of problem sets from college, but also to see the potential of no-code tools to be just as powerful as a conventional programming language. Proving another tool, like Zapier for example, can simulate a finite automata, can be left an exercise for the reader.
I suspect some are much closer to simulating Turing machines than others. In theory, no automata can simulate a Turing machine unless it has access to unbounded (infinite) memory, which can't actually happen in the real world. If there's branching, for loops, and some proxy for memory like reusable registers, it can certainly approach a Turing machine. So maybe Zapier is? I don't recall many tools having a proxy for reusable memory though.
