This bot was used on the COVID website during the pandemic. This is an example of a bot that has some guided conversation, but was built more with the expectation that users would enter their own questions rather than following suggested paths. **Please do not follow any medical advice given by the bot, as it may be outdated.**
This bot was built for, and used at, the 2022 Minnesota State Fair. This is an example of a bot that attempts to guide a conversation down pre-set paths, rather than encouraging the user to enter random questions.
