Bots are simply automated programs which are capable of operating with or without apps. A chatbot development company aims at developing a bot around a single function, that is chat- a simulated conversation. Machine learning is used by the chatbots. Furthermore, the bot has the ability to automatically update and also provides an instantaneous access to your smartphone.
