What are some of the most useful chat bots?

The issue with chat bots are that they are often used for novelty purposes/fun. For more practical uses, and something to keep coming back to, Wonder is awesome. Its available across Amazon Echo and Google Home now too. Well worth checking out!

I use very few chat bots, like most people I think. There's a ton of experimentation in this space but most things are easier to do with a GUI. BUT, there's one Slack chat bot I use called Humblebot. Every morning at 6am it delivers a reminder to be kind and empathetic. A few of the things I've received in the past: "Value other people's time as much as your own." "Be positive today. One negative human can impact a whole team." "Make someone laugh today." Some might call it cheesy but these tiny messages can help shape your day and inspire positive actions.

Resistbot is the f*cking BEST. With a few texts, you can get in touch with your Senators and send faxes to their offices. It's absurdly easy to use and crazy effective. I use it on a regular basis and it's super satisfying. Plus, the bot is super friendly— I always catch myself about to exchange pleasantries with a bot 🙈

AskTrim is a great service, helps you find out what subs you have, what you're paying extra for, etc.

This is a amazing, it gives me concise information on the go and is really useful. I highly recommend you try it. I wrote a short blog some months ago on other bots as well, you can check these out too https://chatbotsmagazine.com/pro...

Spoke is super cool (prelaunch.) You can use it inside of a company via Slack or texting and it answers work related questions. Productivity ⬆️ 💯

Poncho is a great weather chatbot and is always up to date with new chatbot technology
