Course Introduction:

A chatbot is a computer program that can automate certain tasks, typically by chatting with a user through a conversational interface. The most advanced bots are powered by artificial intelligence, helping it to understand complex requests, personalise responses, and improve interactions over time.

Although this technology is still in its infancy period, an increasing number of companies are finding chatbots to be an effective solution to common marketing challenges with engagement and conversion rates. A research from Forrester showed that 5% of companies worldwide said they were using chatbots regularly in 2016, 20% were piloting them, and 32% were planning to use or test them in 2017.
