A virtual agent is a term typically used to describe a type of chat bot used for business.

A virtual agent could be a virtual sales agent, a virtual customer service agent, or another type of virtual agent. A virtual agent is an automated version of a human customer service agent.

There are many virtual agents on the Internet, on websites and on social media. They offer help with websites, give information about their companies products or services, answer users questions, provide support, sales, and customer service.

Bot Libre makes it easy for you to create your own chat bot, or virtual agent.

You can create your own bot, and embed it on your own website, mobile app, or social media. You can create bots for website help, technical support, sales, marketing, customer service, or to automate social media.

Bot Libre bots require no programming, and can be trained easily using several methods. Bots can be trained by importing FAQ's, scripts, and chat logs, reviewing and editing responses from our Admin Console's Training & Chat Logs page, or through conversations with you and other people, or from listening in on live chat.

Bot Libre bots support advanced artificial intelligence that can be enabled to let bots learn and comprehend language. Bots can also be scripted and programmed using AIML, and the Self (a dialect of JavaScript).
