I do like the idea, but I can't seem to import my LinkedIn profile. That for me is an essential feature. Forcing me to fill out a lot of data without an immediate return seems to be a bit of a big hurdle. Also in the advanced training page the user can enter custom questions. I feel like this page could be improved with sample questions, otherwise it is hard to deduct what to write there.

How can I see one of these in action?

I'm not associated with them at all, so YMMV. I guess the only way is to create one yourself, which is a bit of a pain as I wrote above. Here is my bot https://imgur.com/a/GRMUlTB I'm sure it be possible to get a better result than me though.

Agreed. Importing LinkedIn profile is in the works. I like the idea of providing sample questions to pick from in advanced training, added to the roadmap. Cheers.

Something like this would be a pipedream in 2012. Really amazing, but at the same time a bit concerning - there is this AI engine that acts on my behalf and expresses my personality. That's pretty damn creepy.

Thank you. I like to think of my chatbot as just another tool in my toolbox, an interactive showcase for my work and accomplishments. Plus Bots can automate a lot of mundane and tedious tasks.

I really, really need to be able to interact with one of these to evaluate it. like, demo right on the homepage without having to sign up or anything.

Right now I have no idea what it is, and no incentive to invest any amount of time finding out. I did not wake up this morning thinking that I need a chat bot for my resume, so they really need to make it clear wtf this thing is and how it will help me accomplish a goal

No signup needed to chat with one. Chatbots are accessible publicly once created.
