💬 The no-code chatbot helping indie makers choose the right no-code tool

Here at Makerpad, it's not hard to see why we love it when members of the community build no-code products, for other no-coders, using no-code tools. 🙃

As many of you know, choosing the 'right' tool can be challenging. With so many available, a lot of people often find themselves in 'analysis paralysis'.

That's where Indie Hacker and no-code enthusiast Katt Risen is really solving a problem. She's building a chatbot (without code) that helps makers figure out which tool they need depending on their use case!

"No-Code Guru is a wise chatbot that will help you find the right no-code tool by answering 4 questions: use case, design, time and database.

Right now I'm also working on adding tutorials for each use case and tool. The goal being that every user will learn which tool is best for building their idea and also immediately a tutorial to get them started.

With No-Code Guru, I wanted to solve a problem that I noticed a lot of beginner no-code makers were experiencing: WHICH TOOL SHOULD I USE?"

Solving analysis paralysis

"If you are new to the no-code space, the amount of tools can be overwhelming.

New tools keep popping up every day and instead of building, you get in analysis paralysis. You lose precious time researching or even lose motivation because you are overwhelmed.

The aim of No-Code Guru is not to have the biggest directory of no-code tools or the most advanced use cases/filters.

It’s simply to help beginners get started on building and launching their first no-code project."

How I built No-Code Guru

"1. Before I started building I validated my idea with a yep.so landing page (this was free!)

• Conversion template based on the guide of legend Harry Dry
• Not too many whistles and bells to keep focus
• Writing helps to clarify the idea
• Collect emails and easily talk to those early supporters
• Clear data to evaluate the idea potential

2. The chatbot was built with a no-code chatbot builder: Landbot.

Their paying plan supports Airtable integration. So Airtable can be your CMS where you maintain and update all your data and this data gets send to your chatbot.

In Landbot you create a formula which makes sure that the correct results are displayed.

It also works the other way around. I can collect data in my chatbot (email adresses, answers, etc.) that I can send to my Airtable base."

My advice for other makers

"I can say this as I have been in this position myself – stop lurking and finally start building your dream ideas with no-code.

You learn so much, you make a lot of interesting and inspiring maker friends, and it really is an energy and confidence booster."
