Chat Bot pretends to be you to stay connected with friends

How often have we a lot of time to spare to actually chat with your friends? If you're an entrepreneur like me, you might as well have nil time to actually interact with your friends in the form of a text. But now, there's a chat bot that does the job for you. It's now really boring to access Facebook which is why I in fact have deleted my personal profile too. It's just not that productive anymore.

The things which we may hardly miss are birthdays, functions, weddings heck even some deaths (take it lightly alright!). However, there are different applications on the store that have helped our productivity scale to only go up the charts unlike Facebook which have tendencies to actually bring down the same.

People broke out into groups where they make announcements and stay in touch, but now that chat apps are used by almost everyone, there's a lot more information and it becomes impossible to read everything. We are definitely not a part of these, but if you're really intended on your work, why should this be not really concerning? That's where The Chat Bot Club, one of the projects from the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon in New York this weekend, wants to help. It allows you to create a bot of yourself, which interacts and talks to your friends like you but without you having to do so. Or if I have to put it like this, it's nothing but the digital and virtual presence of yourself but just that you'll not really be actively taking part in that.

A New Jersey resident came up with this idea after finding it almost impossible to keep up to date with her friends and their group chats on Facebook Messenger. The Chat Bot Club uses Cisco Spark and IBM Watson to run bots which learn your style. The Chat Bot Club is initially at just a working concept which was created in just over a day at the hackathon. It isn't ready for your usage yet.
