What are Chatbots?
Try one out
Copy the Worksheet/Checklist
Read The Examples
What character will your bot have? Get creative: you can use an existing character, a new one you make up or even yourself!
What things would you have your character to tell people talking to them?
What kind of questions would someone ask your character in order to get them to say those things?
Now we need to give your conversation a flow - can you divide your questions up into some categories with about 2-3 questions per category?
Now let's turn those categories into questions themselves. How might someone ask about this aspect of your character?
Give your bot some personality! Write your answers in your characters voice. Don't forget a greeting and goodbye !
