Hey folks! I’m on the hunt for an Android app that can talk to my n8n chatbot. I want something that looks and feels like the ChatGPT app.
The main features I’m after are:
Text input
Voice input
File upload (pictures and documents)
It would be awesome if it’s open source, but I’m open to other options too. Has anyone come across anything like this? I’ve been searching for a while but no luck so far.
I’m building a pretty cool chatbot with n8n and it would be great to have a slick mobile interface for it. Any suggestions or pointers would be super helpful!
I’ve actually been working on a similar project and ran into the same issue. After some digging, I found a few options that might work for you.
One app that comes close is Botpress. It’s not specifically designed for n8n, but it’s open-source and has a lot of the features you’re looking for. The interface is pretty sleek, and it supports text input, voice commands, and file uploads.
Another route you could explore is using a progressive web app (PWA) instead of a native Android app. This would allow you to create a custom interface that matches your needs exactly, and it can be accessed through a mobile browser. It might take a bit more work upfront, but it gives you full control over the design and functionality.
If you’re comfortable with some coding, you could also look into using React Native to build your own app. This would let you create a native Android experience while still using web technologies.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction! Let me know if you want more details on any of these options.
Have you considered using Telegram as an interface for your n8n chatbot? It’s not exactly like the ChatGPT app, but it offers a lot of flexibility. You can create a Telegram bot that connects to your n8n workflow, enabling text input, voice messages, and file uploads. The Telegram Android app is widely used and has a clean interface.
To set this up, you’d need to create a Telegram bot using BotFather, then use n8n’s Telegram nodes to handle the communication. This approach leverages existing infrastructure and might save you time compared to building a custom app from scratch.
If you’re set on a dedicated app, you might want to look into app builders like Thunkable or AppGyver. They allow for creating custom apps without deep coding knowledge, though they may have limitations compared to fully custom solutions.
hey, have u tried lookin into flutter? its pretty cool for makin cross-platform apps. you could build a custom interface that looks like chatgpt and connects to ur n8n bot. it supports text, voice, and file uploads. plus, its open source! might take some coding but could be worth it for a slick mobile app.
