Apologies - no weekly update last week as myself and Ethora have made an appearance at Web Summit 2025 in Vancouver, Canada.
As an update regarding our progress over last couple weeks:
New website is live!
Our new website design is finally live and looks super awesome! Our previous website was not so great and was more of a one-page website as we were being busy improving the product and helping our enterprise customers with their integrations. Now it is live and it will be much more pleasant and easier to navigate for our existing customers and for new businesses and teams discovering the Ethora platform. During the month of June you will see more content and sections added as gradually we fulfil our plan to cover all aspects of our product for your convenience.
Over 784 Apps created on Ethora platform so far!
Exciting news - as we have calculated our stats we have discovered a lot of activity from new signups during the month of May'25 - 216 apps created in total vs our historical monthly average of 30-60 apps!
Our focus now should be to:
1. Maintain and increase the growth so that more organisations can benefit from Ethora.
2. Improve our on-boarding and admin panel UI/UX and usability to ensure our App Owners get the most out of Ethora platform.
The latter is especially important as while we see the increase in signups and apps being built, still the amount of projects who stick around, on-board significant amount of end users and obtain most value from Ethora infrastructure, is only a portion of those signed up. This means we should keep working to make the platform easier to use.
Improvements to Sign-up and App creation flow
Some of the on-boarding flow improvements are already live. It is now much easier for the App Owners to create their first App.
Also, there is a helping visual prompt guiding the App Owner from App Creation, to Adjusting the Appearance, to on-boarding their first End User.
This is going to reduce friction and save the precious time of our App Owners.
Sneak Peek into what's coming next
Ethora R&D team is now actively working to make AI Bots a breeze. For quite some time, over last year or so, we see an increase in activity from AI-focused projects. This makes a lot of sense as Ethora infrastructure and web/mobile app engine provide an ideal basis for your AI agent or chat bot implementation, whether it's for your internal use, but also when you would like to productise this and offer your AI agent or chat bot to your customers within an app. Ethora is an ideal solution to deliver that app infrastructure for you so you can focus on maximising the value of your AI component.
Early this year, in February'25, we have published ethora_bots Github repo https://github.com/dappros/ethora-bots providing a bunch of ready chat bot engines, including the one powered by OpenAI LLM. The latter can obviously swapped for any other AI agent / LLM endpoint.
Now we are making it even easier for our customers to deploy AI bots following our "low-code / no-code" agnostic approach. This approach means we support both customers who would like to get their hands dirty and customize the code as well as those customers who don't want to code or simply would like to test and deploy things quickly, as an MVP.
So with new development that's going on, we are building on top of our Ethora Bots Framework and we will be adding a section in the Admin panel allowing any App Owner to deploy their AI agent bot with one click into any of the chat rooms within their app.
We are looking forward for feedback from App Owners and End Users regarding the AI bot feature, as soon as it's live!
As usual, if you have any questions, feedback or requests please do get in touch here in our community forum or personally over e-mail or call!
Stay tuned for updates!
