Dialogflow
Dialogflow is Google's platform for chat and voice bots: design, train, and integrate conversations into websites, apps, or hotlines.
Dialogflow is Google's platform for chatbots and conversational AI systems, part of Google Cloud since the acquisition of API.AI in 2016. You model conversations using intents and flows and integrate them into websites, apps, or phone hotlines. The CX edition is now called Conversational Agents, and CX Agent Studio is the new agent-based generation.
Common applications: customer service bots with agent handover, pre-qualification in hotlines, and order status inquiries. Its strength lies in its maturity in the voice domain; few platforms offer more contact center integrations, and generative responses are now being added via Gemini.
For a simple website bot, Chatbase can be ready in an afternoon, whereas Dialogflow requires days to weeks of ramp-up time; for pure voice agents, Vapi is the more modern tool. Dialogflow is only worthwhile when conversational logic needs to be truly complex and controllable, and it ties you to Google Cloud.
Ideal for teams with developers who build contact center or telephony bots with clear rules. For quick documentation support on a website, Chatbase is the more pragmatic choice.
