How did Instant Translator start?
Instant Translator bot started as a very simple bot that translates between Arabic to English and from English to Arabic. The bot was created and published on Facebook to show during demos as an online sample that does a “cool” job. However, during these demos we decided to market our bot via a little ad promotion. We started with a $20 boosted post post in some Arabic countries and what a surprise! The bot started going viral in Arabic Facebook groups and gaining popularity because of it’s extreme simplicity. Instant Translator was being mentioned everywhere, and users started having fun with the bot and claiming it’s the only Facebook friend that talks to them all the time. 😉
How Did Instant Translator Grow?
We believe our growth was due to the following:
— Extreme easiness: The bot didn’t have a flow. It only does translating and it doesn’t fail at that job because all of the code is written to handle a lot of failures which ensures it always replies to the user.
— Listening to your users: We always hear our users. We add more languages when they ask, we improve the speed if they say the translation is slow, and most importantly, the bot has extreme alerts to detect any major failures, which gives the bot a 99% up-time.
— Answer all users: We answer every user question, we help every user and we check Facebook reviews. The users feel important and very thankful when you answer their questions within the page.
— Videos: Show your users how to use their bot. Make their lives easier. Not a lot of users understand everything. Even when you tell them “Send a message to the page,” you have to explain to them how to do it.
