Chatbots aren't as difficult to make as you think

I really enjoyed https://woebot.io/ for a few months. I was really surprised at its depth when I kept on discovering new flows after weeks of interacting with it daily.

But that kind of chatbot is surely an exception. And Andrew Ng is the chairman of WoeBot, so I expected it to be good quality.

The big difference here is that the bot is the product. (An interesting one at that!)

What I find utterly annoying is a chatbot popping on some software webpage, reducing my field of view and interrupting my progress toward the documentation/download/career/whatever section. In this case I find it an overly hyped widget that I absolutely do not need.
