Chatbots.org is the world’s fastest growing community on human-like conversational AI (Artificial Intelligence). To be the leading community of chatbot developers, academics and users focusing on research, technology and innovation to drive success for all participants. A chatbot is an artificial living entity designed to have conversations with real human beings. This could encompass a text conversation via computers, a spoken conversation or even a non-verbal conversation.

Chatbots have a huge potential. They are the embodiment of the evolving ability of brands (or governments, or NGO’s) to listen to individuals instead of simply sending messages. They show us the future of what’s next after advertising. In the long run (10-20 years), this industry has the potential to be as big as the advertising industry today.

This industry is still in its early days. There are no associations, no shared research, no consensus on terminology. For clients, there is no overview of developers, no list of quality cases, no best practice implementations.

That’s why Chatbots.org was developed in 2005 and launched on this URL in January 2008. If you’re interested in our history, a detailed history page is available.

Chatbots.org is more and more developing into an association: It is really intended to advance the chatbot industry worldwide. It gives people the opportunity to network. For knowledge to grow. For issues to be solved.

Chatbots.org’s primary business model should be about paid membership by professional chatbot developers. It’s beneficial for them to have a body in place which autonomously advances this industry.
