A type of conversation agent, a computer program designed to simulate an intelligent conversation with one or more human users via auditory or textual methods.

CONT

The term "chatbot" refers to a computer program configured to simulate an intelligent conversation with users via voice, images, video and/or text on an instant message basis. Such programs are sometimes referred to as artificial conversational entities ... or chatterbots. In other words, chatbots may provide users with text-to-speech and speech recognition functions such that users may interact with a chatbot similarly as in communication with a real person. The chatbot may therefore recognize a user's speech, convert it into machine-readable form, process user requests, and deliver corresponding responses as spoken language.
