Bot-making platform Motion.ai has just released a “bot store,” where companies, groups, and individuals who want to release a bot can get, customize, and deploy a bot in minutes.
Restaurant Bot, for example, will let you view a menu, see hours, book a reservation, or get in touch with a restaurant, all from Facebook Messenger, web chat, good old fashioned SMS, or even email.
The bot understands simple questions like “What’s on the menu” and “When are you open,” and responds with the answer.
