Wishlist AI Chatbot

So far, loving your AI Chatbot widget!

Feature Request:

Please add the following buttons to your chatbot widget:

  • Upload File (allow uploading of common file types: .doc, .pdf, .xls, .jpg, .png, .webp, .avif, etc.)
  • Emoji Picker
  • Gif Picker
  • Voice (i.e., instead of typing, allow messages to be created via device’s microphone)

To assist you with this request, please take a look at Intercom’s chatbot widget. Details: Screenshot by Lightshot

Thank you!

To Team Elfsight:

To prevent confusion and attract more readers/voters, wouldn’t it be better to use the topic title:

“Add Functionality Buttons to the Message Input Field”

Thank you,

Petar

Love your ideas, @Petar_Dietrich ! :blush:

I actually agree adding this! Because this is a very good idea :smiley:

Thanks @Maxim!

And to make things even better, once released, each button should be controlled by the user in their widget panel. Meaning, not every widget owner will want to display all buttons at the same time (e.g., the emoji and gif buttons).

@Petar_Dietrich many thanks for sharing your suggestions! They really help us better understand your use cases and expectations :slight_smile:

I also love your idea about adding multiple options and controlling their display in the settings. We’ll try ti keep it in mind - especially if other members support it too :blush:

Btw, we have a similar request about file uploads, you might want to upvote it to follow the updates: Allow the chatbot to send and receive photos within the conversation

Thanks again for your help!
