Bots have become the latest paradigm for content distribution on messaging platforms. Some say that bots are the new apps. The purpose of this Botathon, a hackathon for building bots, is to educate, inspire collaboration and team building, and to develop innovative use cases within a conversational interface.
Thank you to our Partner LA's Best for helping us organize this event and to our amazing sponsors and community partners.
Make sure you are a member of the LA Chat Bot Meetup for news about future bot events.
