Messengers have become part of the daily life of almost any Internet user. Their functionality is constantly improving, and more and more people are ready to abandon social networks, completely switching to these messaging programs. And really, why put additional programs or launch a browser when almost any task can be performed directly in the chat?
Despite the fact that several popular applications, in particular, Viber and WhatsApp, almost completely dominated the Russian market until 2015, the founder of VKontakte Pavel Durov created a new free messenger Telegram. Many did not count on its considerable success, and most of the analytical materials came down to the fact that most users would stop using it in a short time. But the novelty, in addition to lightness, speed, incredible security and full cross-platform, received a number of unique features. One of these exceptional features are bots. These are special chats that are controlled by computer artificial intelligence.
Such chat rooms are becoming more and more popular, as well as overgrown with new, more advanced features and capabilities. Without leaving your favorite chat, you can check the weather, exchange rates, read news or jokes, book a table in a cafe or order food delivery to your home. In fact, this list is not complete, and there has recently been a trend when more and more companies or services want to launch a chat bot for their clients.
