What is Chatbot?
Also called: AI assistant
A chatbot is a program you talk to in a chat window. Modern chatbots run on large language models.
Example
You ask a bank’s chatbot for opening hours and get an answer straight away.
For pros
Older chatbots followed fixed decision trees. Today’s AI assistants combine a language model with memory, web search, files and tools.
