After collating votes from our editorial team and the contest’s sponsor, we're thrilled to announce the winners of the #ai-chatbot writing contest!
“It was easier to build than I expected. So much so that I’ll start from square one, and in this same article cover creating the bot, publishing it, integrating it into a Nextjs/React site, and even discussing some high-level thoughts on running this in a production startup!”
Congratulations to the big winner, Kevin Stubbs! You have won $3000, 10M Coze Tokens, and 1 Month of Coze Premium Plus membership!
“Whether it's for personal projects or more complex, professional applications, Coze continues to be the backbone of my bot-building adventures. Here's to the next evolution, whatever that may bring!”
“One major advantage of the Coze platform is its unique pricing model. In addition to the traditional token-based billing model, Coze also adopts a message-based pricing method. This means that the cost of each message exchange between the user and the assistant is fixed and will not increase due to the use of more tokens on LLM.”
Big congrats to @fibonacci and @jim60105!! You both have won $1000, 5M Coze Tokens, and 1 Month of Coze Premium!
“The integration of LLM with vector search opens new possibilities for automating documentation, which is especially beneficial for startups and teams with limited resources.”
Congratulations Dmitrii Galkin and Akalanka Weerasooriya!! Each of you will receive $500, 5M Coze Token, and 1 Month Coze Premium!
“As for Coze, I can definitely recommend it. As I said initially, the platform is super easy to use. I can’t imagine that building even your first bot can be so effortlessly and fun. I’d also highlight the flexibility provided by different modes and various plugins. You literally can make a bot for anything.”
Congratulations Daria Leonova!! You have won $500, 5M Coze Tokens, and 1 Month Coze Premium!
Congratulations to Emmanuel Ajala, Kickboxer J, killua, Ileolami, and Diamond!! You all have won 1 Month of Coze Premium!
