How to create/add chatbot in articulate storyline or rise?

Could you please guide me and explain on the below two questions.

1) How many types of chatbots are there? 
2) How to add chatbot into LMS packages with free of cost?

    2) Go to duckduckgo.com and search for free chatbots, to find one that works well for you.

    Hello,

    Just came across this post.

    My client wants to embed chatbot in storyline for their LMS.

    I am just looking at including a chatbot as a webobject, for quick and easy implementation.

    (As I think the embedding option is still a way off!)

    I can't find any obvious issues with this, is there anything I should be aware of?

    any help gratefully appreciated.

     

  • Sort of adding to the conversation, I thought maybe I had figured this out using Botsonic and JavaScript. The bot appears in Rise, but it doesn't work. It's static. I also tried using a Storyline Block (embedding the bot into that) and adding combination that to Rise, but it didn't work either.
    We could REALLY use that feature. People want to interact with the course content and ask questions. I've seen two example out there of people who have solved it, but the details are light.

    Articulate, are you listening.🙂

      Thanks for adding to the conversation, RobGibson-25619. I can see why this keeps coming up.

      Right now, Storyline and Rise don’t offer a native, supported way to add a fully interactive chatbot experience. While some authors have experimented with JavaScript, Web Objects, or embeds, those approaches can be fragile and may not work reliably, especially in Rise, which has more limitations around dynamic scripts.

      That said, the use case you’re describing, giving learners a way to ask questions and interact with content in a more conversational way, is a compelling one and aligns with what many teams are looking for today. I’ve shared your feedback with our product team so they can consider it as part of future planning.
