Show HN: I built Lovable for text bots and mini apps

https://plutonic.dev
45•piotmni•9mo ago
Hi HN,

During the last weeks, I've been working to create a system that allows you to convert prompts into chatbots and mini apps on platforms that everyone uses on a daily basis.

The first integrated platform is Telegram:

Telegram is a powerful platform with many integrations and features like bots, apps, games and even payments. So I thought it would be nice to make it easier to create these apps. I created a bot http://t.me/PlutonicDevBot.

Workflow is pretty simple: create or choose an existing bot and send a text/voice message about what to create just like you prompt everywhere. To get more instructions, use the /help and /howto commands.

Planning to create the same solution for Slack and Discord.

Thanks for taking a look. I would love to hear feedback.

Is the pricing link at the bottom of the page supposed to do something?
traktorn•9mo ago
The same for the Testimonal-link in the menu. Not working.
piotmni•9mo ago
yes sorry will update this in future, landing for now supposed to be mostly basic info and redirect to telegram.

regarding pricing: mostly number of messages per month/ number of bots

- free: 10 msg, 2 bots

- starter: 50 msg, 5 bots - 10$/month

- developer: 100 msg, 10 bots - 20$/month

- pro: 250 msg, 20 bots, voice messages - 50$/month

- scale: 500msg, 40bots, voice messages - 100$/month

traktorn•9mo ago
Messages/month? Is that the amount of messages the bot does in Telegram? Or the amount of messages sent to the LLM when building it?
piotmni•9mo ago
amount of edit messages in plutonic bot, so yes messages sent to llm
traktorn•9mo ago
The page looks nice and I like the catchphrase, it would be nice to see some samples.

Have you built anything using this yourself?

piotmni•9mo ago
yep for now it is focused on telegram:

- simple todo/link collection bot with telegram custom keyboard

- markdown from pdf message

- bot that returns top 5 posts on hn

- simple settlement bot

- friend manage to build a bot that after getting a url to recipe generated image about it

- "cookie clicker" app

- basic shop app

traktorn•9mo ago
Cool, looking forward to seeing a "gallery" of these.
_rousbound•9mo ago
A gallery/workflow example would be great on the landing page.
piotmni•9mo ago
will be working on that!
jonfw•9mo ago
pricing link is busted
piotmni•9mo ago
yep will fix this, description is accessible in telegram bot and also posted in one of the comments
ebcase•9mo ago
Pushover support would be great, as one of your targets.
piotmni•9mo ago
thanks for response, can you explain this use case more precisely?
saberience•9mo ago
What's the actual use-case for this? I actually don't know anyone who uses Telegram, let alone apps on Telegram. But I'm also not friends with any crypto people.
StrandedKitty•9mo ago
It's pretty popular in Eastern Europe and Russia. In Ukraine railroad tickets are sold through a Telegram chat bot.

I think the main reason people prefer making chat bots in Telegram is that it's completely free and unlimited, i.e. you can create any number of chat bots, send any number of messages with attached files of any size. Their API is very easy to use too.

ettsvensktlogin•9mo ago
Am I, as a user, supposed to create the bot using Telegram? Or using some other interface? I clicked "Try it on Telegram" and got connected to some bot.
piotmni•9mo ago
yes, and this point Plutonic supports Telegram bots and apps(in the future planning to add another apps like Discord)
