History

ChatBot (BotEngine) has its origins in a research project created by the company LiveChat Software, which won with this project at hackathon in 2016.[1][2][3] In August 2017, LiveChat launched a beta version of the BotEngine chatbots build platform.[4][5][6]

In September 2017, LiveChat integrated with BotEngine.[7][8] ChatBot in its current form was launched on February 21, 2018.[citation needed] In March 2018, BotEngine was released from beta version.[9] Later that year the product has been rebranded to ChatBot, following the purchase of the chatbot.com domain.[10][11][12] In October 2019, ChatBot added a feature to collect customized data about visitors who interacted with bots on websites or Facebook.[13] In May 2020, ChatBot in partnership with Infermedica launched COVID-19 Risk Assessment ChatBot.[14]

In March 2021, ChatBot launched a new version of Visual Builder.[15]
