What’s a Chatbot?
A Chatbot is that thing that pops up in the corner of a website or inside messaging apps, like Facebook Messenger, that communicate with you in a human(ish) manner to develop a rapport with you.
You know they aren’t real, but you can’t help feeling some kind of personal involvement because it’s giving you the answers you want. It’s creepy, but in a cute way.
Joe public is happy to respond to a bot and messaging apps get quicker responses than emails. When that happens inside an app like Messenger, responders can download information for free without filling in emails or anything. Messenger does it automatically in the background and the person get instant gratification with their download.
For this reason, companies want them. The market is growing, and now’s the time for you to get in the game.
It doesn’t matter if you know nothing about bots or code because you can build them in just a few hours using Drop & Drag software.
