Hi There,

From scrolling to engaging, the time we spend on apps is filled with micro-interactions that fuel our experiences. Think about it: ChatGPT be as useful if it couldn't fetch data from previous conversations? Or would Reddit have thousands of engaging communities if people couldn’t comment with anonymity?

These seemingly minor elements can significantly influence how we interact with an app, but go largely unnoticed. This month, our team has focused on perfecting these “silent MVPs,” so that every corner of the app feels cohesive, smooth, and effective.

So, let’s dive into the latest updates from October and the spotlight of this edition - the Chatbot theme. A true plug-and-play GenAI Chatbot that can seamlessly be integrated with ChatGPT, Gemini, or other custom bots within minutes.

The New Dashboard

The 15-minute integration has been an integral part of LikeMinds, something that no one in the markets offers. And to make things even more efficient, it’s now self-serving! Bringing the brand new dashboard that enhances the ease and functionality with these key updates:

• 3-Step Integration Kit: A self-serve kit enabling you to integrate our Chat and Feed SDK easily in 15 minutes.

Feature Parity

Delivering a seamless experience across devices is critical. Hence, we have been focused on achieving feature parity to ensure consistency in all stacks:

• Q&A Feed is now live on all the tech stacks.
• Essential Chat features like Reactions, Tagging, and Poll are now live on all the tech stacks.

Rolling Out: New Features

These new additions make the app more versatile and user-friendly:

• Anonymous posting: Members can now anonymously post and interact in the feed, available on both ReactJS and ReactNative.
• Hide posts: Moderators can easily manage the visibility of a post with an additional “hide post” feature that is now live on ReactJS and ReactNative
• Custom video library: You can now integrate a custom video library in React Native for seamless video playback and management. This also enhances media experiences with optimized performance and greater customization.
• Retry mechanism for Chat: Enhances user experience by automatically retrying failed messages.

Theme of the month: Chatbot Theme

Chatbots are evolving rapidly and to make their adoption quick and easy, our GenAI Chatbot theme is live on Android. Along with being a plug-and-play theme, here’s what it offers:

• A rich multimedia input support for images and voice notes.
• Ability to integrate with a custom LLM or vanilla tools like ChatGPT
• Context-aware conversations with chat history and message retention capabilities.
  

The theme is live on Android and iOS and is expected to be rolled out in all the tech stack by the end of this quarter

These advanced features enable the Chatbot to not only function as a core part of customer support but also engage in meaningful conversations, nurture leads, and create upsell opportunities. If you’d like to explore the unique use cases it opens for your business, let’s connect.
