List of chatbots

A chatbot is a software application or web interface that is designed to mimic human conversation through text or voice interactions.^[1][2][3] Modern chatbots are typically online and use generative artificial intelligence systems that are capable of maintaining a conversation with a user in natural language and simulating the way a human would behave as a conversational partner. Such chatbots often use deep learning and natural language processing, but simpler chatbots have existed for decades.

This list of chatbots is a general overview of notable chatbot applications and web interfaces.
