Chatfuel vs. Microsoft Copilot Studio

Chatfuel is great for a small team looking to easily implement and set up Facebook chatbots for their clients for ease of community management, etc. Chatfuel is not necessarily meant for large scale operations that require complex workflows and chatbot requirements, it is limited to Facebook Messenger and is not 100% intuitive in this regard.

Where you have a very finite and specific use case, that matches well with the intended use case of the product, it tends to be a great fit. For example we created a plain language chatbot which can rewrite any given piece of text into plain language, referring to specific internal standards.

Microsoft Copilot Studio is very easy to design new chatbot agents and deploy them to users, it revolutionises the ability to develop and deploy these types of solutions at scale. It does something similar to Power Automate - where it is a low/no code solution that enables tech capabilities not easily possible prior.

Both offer bot service to reply to messages from Facebook. The difference is that Chatfuel gives you the option of being able to create conversion funnels or fixed conversation changes.

Connecting to our API is free from Chatfuel and integration with other providers has an additional cost.

AIVO has no option to create conversation flows if not through keywords.

Really there is no other solution for enterprises than Microsoft Copilot Studio, as every business in New Zealand is already using MS licensing and backend infrastructure. This addition is game changing for those who otherwise would be locked out of solutions that would require new licensing structures to enable these capabilities.
