What are chatbots? Why are they such a big opportunity? How do they work? How can I build one? and so on and s on...
Lets try to unfold the answer to these Questions
What is ChatBots?
A chatbot is a Software that delivers services, powered by artificial intelligence and designed interactively so that you can interact with your natural language via a chat/voice interface. The service could be any number of things, ranging from functional to fun, and it could live in any major chat product (Facebook Messenger, Slack, Telegram, Kik, Text Messages, etc.).
Examples of chatbots

- Niki bot. Shop On Chat
- Weather bot. Get the weather whenever you ask.
- Grocery bot. Help me pick out and order groceries for the week.
- News bot. Ask it to tell you when ever something interesting happens.
- Life advice bot. I’ll tell it my problems and it helps me think of solutions.
- Personal finance bot. It helps me manage my money better.
- Scheduling bot. Get me a meeting with someone on the Messenger team at Facebook.
- A bot that’s your friend. In China there is a bot called Xiaoice, built by Microsoft, that over 20 million people talk to.
The list Is yet not complete yeah you can think of problems which is not yet fixed by these bots so theres endless opportunities for newbie. You can build anything imaginable, and I encourage you to do just that
But again brain is buzzing with why?

It’s a huge opportunity. HUGE. Scroll down and I’ll explain.
Big Opportunity, How?
Well It's a Great Question. I Appreciate it too.
And am Sure You know the answer but you are not able to inter-relate this fact.
Don't Worry, I will help you in understanding it.
Ask Yourself How much time you are using different chat/voice application per day.
1 hour?
2 hours?
.

n hours?
Its Okay it depends on person to person.
You can see these Comments to get the idea of why and how
“~90% of our time on mobile is spent on email and messaging platforms. I would love to back teams that build stuff for places where the consumers hang out!” — Niko Bonatsos, Managing Director at General Catalyst
“People are now spending more time in messaging apps than in social media, and that is a huge turning point. Messaging apps are the platforms of the future, and bots will be how their users access all sorts of services.” — Peter Rojas, Entrepreneur in Residence at Betaworks
Still not got it?
ohk here it is
It’s because for the first time ever, people are using messenger apps more than they are using social networks.
Lets Clarify It Using Some Statistics as shown below:-
We can see clearly that People are using messaging apps like(whatsapp, messenger, wechat and more..) more than they are using social networks.
So, logically, if you want to build a business online, you want to build where the people are. That place is now inside Different Messaging apps.
Thats why Its believed today that OS was a old platform and now Messaging is viewed as New Platform and Bots are Considered to be Interactive applications.
As People are using more Messaging Apps we can target our audience easily over messaging apps rather than building own complex apps.
