The Top 10 Tools to Build your Own Chatbots


Recently, bots have swept the tech and startup world. While making a robot sounds complicated for most people, creating a chatbot is way, way easier. The term chatbot stands for an Artifical Intelligence (AI) that automatically chats with internet users, and answers the questions they ask. Here’s a list of the top 10 tools to build your own Chatbots, whether your bot is a brand, a new idea, or just for fun.

A chatbot can function in many different ways. Depending on its type, a chatbot can talk to you or provide customer service, and tell you what the current weather. For businesses, chatbots could respond to a customer’s question and help you do your job.
