Chatbots, also known as Virtual Assistants, are basically a software or Artificial Intelligence that can carry out a conversation with the user in natural language, through auditory or textual methods such as websites, mobile apps, messaging applications, and telephone. Chatbots can imitate human speech, both written and spoken.
