Want to quickly build a chatbot or import a flow design? Whether you're starting from scratch or trying to bring in an idea you’ve sketched out with AI, our Build It For Me feature makes it simple. Just describe what you want your bot to do — in your own words — and we’ll turn that into a working flow in seconds. No coding, no JSON files, no complicated setup ✨

⚙️ How It Works?

  1. To start building, click on the Build a chatbot button in the top-right corner of your dashboard:

  1. Choose the channel you want to build your chatbot for:
  1. Choose the Build It For Me option:

  1. Once ready, click on Generate button, and Landbot will quickly build a flow you can review, test, and customize 🚀

✏️ Tips for Better Results

To help our AI create the best possible flow:

  • Keep it clear and concise.
  • Focus on what your bot needs to ask, do, or automate.
  • Add specifics such as tone (professional, kind, friendly) and language preferred.
  • Mention key steps like: greeting, collecting contact details, qualifying leads, etc.

✅ After Generation – What Can I Do?

Once your chatbot is generated, you can:

  • Test the bot directly in preview ("Test this bot" button)
  • Edit the blocks in the visual builder
  • Add custom logic, integrations, or styles
Bonus Tip: Use It Anytime, Not Just at the Start ✨

Build It For Me isn’t just for new bots! You can use it at any point while building or expanding an existing chatbot.

In the builder, click the green dot with the arrow on any block to add a new one. You’ll see the Build It For Me option there too.

It’s perfect when you want to add a new conversation path or feature - without building it manually from scratch.

❓ FAQs

I'm using AI tools to design my chatbot. How can I import the design?

If you’ve used an AI tool like ChatGPT to design your bot through a conversation, you’ve likely ended up with a full chatbot concept - but not in a format you can directly import.

Here's a simple workaround - You can just ask it to generate a single prompt summarizing the whole flow.

For example, ask: “Can you now give me one single description of this chatbot? Keep it under 1000 characters.”

Once you have that summary, paste it into Landbot’s Build It For Me input field. Our AI will generate your chatbot flow based on that description. This way, you get the full benefit of your AI-generated design without needing to rebuild from scratch.

Can I import a chatbot from JSON?

Landbot does not support importing chatbots via JSON files. If you’ve received a JSON file from another tool, we recommend asking the AI to summarize the bot logic as a natural language description (max 1000 characters), and then using Build It For Me to recreate the flow in Landbot.

Can I still edit my bot after using this?

Absolutely! Once your chatbot is generated, you can fully edit it in the visual builder. You can customize blocks, add logic, connect integrations, and adjust the flow just like any other Landbot bot.
