Hello,

I will try a bot as a/this weekend project.

However my first chat with Poncho was not too great : http://imgur.com/S4iJsw3

Interesting. I'm guessing some of these bots aren't built on natural language processing, but instead keyword parsing?

Classic Poncho.

Some of that is hilarious.

This pretty much mirrors my experience.

I feel like they rushed their launch partners (or themselves if they're self built). I haven't tried to find any more bots because of how bad the poncho UX was.
