Chatbots are making their way into the education sector. Students can text to the Chatbot via IM or Social Media site a question and get a response that is specific to the class their class. Not to be confused with Alexa for the Classroom or Google home. These chatbots are created by startup companies that work directly with you as a teacher or school to generate the data. You create the predetermined questions and answers, and the company does the rest. When a student or individual types in a question to the Chatbot via IM or through social media, the chatbot returns with a response.
