The backstory
Landbot lets teams build rule-based chatbots with a visual flow editor for websites and WhatsApp. OpenAI's custom GPTs and Assistants API deliver far more capable conversational agents with almost no flow-charting, making decision-tree bots feel dated. Users expect real understanding now, not scripted branches. As free and cheap LLM assistants outclass the core product, it reads as killed.
