155 chatbots in this brand new landscape. Where does your bot fit?<\/strong><\/a> — from venturebeat.com by Carylyne Chan<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Since we started building bots at KeyReply more than two years ago, the industry has seen massive interest and change. This makes it hard for companies and customers to figure out what\u2019s really happening \u2014 so we hope to throw some light on this industry by creating a landscape of chatbot-related businesses. There\u2019s no way to put everyone into this landscape, so we have selected examples that give readers an overview of the industry, such as notable or dominant providers and tools widely used to develop bots.<\/p>\n

To put everything into a coherent structure, we arranged companies along the axes according to the functions of their bots and how they built them.<\/p>\n

On the horizontal axis, the \u201cmarketing\u201d function refers to a bot\u2019s ability to drive exposure, reach, and interaction with the brand or product for potential and current customers. The \u201csupport\u201d function refers to a bot\u2019s ability to assist current customers with problems and to resolve those problems for them.<\/p>\n

On the vertical axis, \u201cmanaged\u201d refers to companies outsourcing the development of bots to external vendors, whereas \u201cself-serve\u201d refers to them building their bots in-house or with an off-the-shelf tool.<\/p>\n
