On reddit, there seems to be a new board (aka subreddit) called “BotBuddies”.

A supportive community around Chatbots! Give advice, ask for advice, and generally share your love for Chatbots.

On BotBuddies, they mention the Facebook “closed group” called Bots (currently 3,612 members).

> facebook.com/groups/chatbot

Discuss chatbots, AI, NLP, Facebook Messenger, Slack, Telegram, Discord, Kik, SMS, etc. Talk about what you’re working on.

yeah, it is all growing and growing!!!! Fantastic development!

I personally would love to grow Chatbots.org and I still would love to work with native English moderators, editors, managers, designers who would be willing to return their time and money and get shares for AI4US Ltd (the owning company for Chatbots.org) in return.

Let the universe decide ...

Cheers to the Chatbot loving community!
