ChatBot is a software platform for creating chatbots for business use released in August 2017.[2]

History

[edit]

ChatBot (BotEngine) has its origins in a research project created by the company Text (formerly LiveChat Software), which won with this project at hackathon in 2016.[3][4][5] In August 2017, LiveChat launched a beta version of the BotEngine chatbots build platform.[6][2][7]

In September 2017, LiveChat integrated with BotEngine.[8][9] ChatBot in its current form was launched on February 21, 2018.[citation needed] In March 2018, BotEngine was released from beta version.[10] Later that year the product has been rebranded to ChatBot, following the purchase of the chatbot.com domain.[11][12][13] In October 2019, ChatBot added a feature to collect customized data about visitors who interacted with bots on websites or Facebook.[14] In May 2020, ChatBot in partnership with Infermedica launched COVID-19 Risk Assessment ChatBot.[15]

In March 2021, ChatBot launched a new version of Visual Builder.[16]
