20 Amazing Chatbots for Websites

Introduction

A Chatbot is the conversational tool of tomorrow. It removes the need of human intervention for petty queries and small dialogues. In simpler terms, a chatbot is a bunch of code that replicates human conversation and answers questions that it is trained to answer. Although earlier chatbots were built for answering very specific queries, with the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the use cases for chatbots has burst open.
