I’ve just finished reading a very long article about one interesting experiment which was done with a Kik messenger chatbot named Kokobot. But the main story here is not about chatbots at all, it’s about people. Koko is ushering in a new era of emotional well-being, providing emotional support as a service to any product. With KokoBot, users have access to a peer-to-peer network that helps them deal with symptoms related to stress, anxiety and depression. For people who are suffering, knowing that others are in pain, and that they can do something about it, is one way of healing themselves. I highly encourage you to find some time to read an article below about the story how chatbots can help people with mental diseases. http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/2/14764620/koko-social-network-mental-health-depression-app-kik Try KokoBot on Telegram: @thekokobot
