Bots have been garnering a lot of attention recently. The majority of coverage has been positive but it has also garnered negative attention as it relates to Russian bots and their involvement with the 2016 election. Regardless of sentiment, bots are simply a software application that can perform tasks and computations much faster than a human. Bots have been around for quite some time and there are thousands of Bot applications in use today. Many of which provide useful services for consumers and help drive positive customer experiences for brands every day. Brands use Bots for a variety of reasons, some of those include but are not limited to:
+ Engaging An Audience
+ Collecting Feedback and User Insights
+ Facilitating the Sale of Goods and Services
+ Integrating Customer Service Across Digital Touchpoints
