says: [
"Hello!",
"Let's explore advanced chat flows with <em>chat-bubble</em>.",
"In this example you'll see how this simple JavaScript framework can help you create advanced conversational sequences with GIFs!",
"To begin, choose how you'd like this (example) conversation to proceed...",
"...We can either talk about <strong>bananas and ice cream</strong> or <strong>other special things</strong>. Which one shall it be?",

],
// "reply" is an array of possible options the user can pick from as a reply
reply: [
{
question: "Bananas and ice cream!", // label for the reply option
answer: "chapter-one" // key for the next conversation object
},
{
question: "No, thanks.", // label for the reply option
answer: "end" // key for an "escape valve"; we refer to this whenever a reply signals the end of the convo
},
{
question: "What “other special things?”", // label for the reply option
answer: "sidetrack" // key for a "side note" we can reference from multiple points in the chat
}
]

Chatbot
Uses pattern matching to create personalised answers based from the question, such as telling the bot your name.
ChatBot.addPattern("^hi$", "response", "Howdy, friend", undefined, "Say 'Hi' to be greeted back.");
ChatBot.addPattern("^bye$", "response", "See you later buddy", undefined, "Say 'Bye' to end the conversation.");
ChatBot.addPattern("(?:my name is|I'm|I am) (.*)", "response", "hi $1, thanks for talking to me today", function (matches) {
ChatBot.setHumanName(matches[1]);
},"Say 'My name is [your name]' or 'I am [name]' to be called that by the bot");
ChatBot.addPattern("(what is the )?meaning of life", "response", "42", undefined, "Say 'What is the meaning of life' to get the answer.");
ChatBot.addPattern("compute ([0-9]+) plus ([0-9]+)", "response", undefined, function (matches) {
ChatBot.addChatEntry("That would be "+(1*matches[1]+1*matches[2])+".","bot");
},"Say 'compute [number] plus [number]' to make the bot your math monkey");
Web chat bots can make you site more interactive to your viewers. Rather than your site being a glossy magazine where the viewer turns the pages, they and chat to the bot, and be given a tour of your site and have their own personal assistant
