This Facebook bot will pick your next movie for you
As we've discussed, Facebook's bot platform is still in its early stages, and most apps aren't ready yet to become part of your everyday life. This is mainly due to shortfalls in natural language processing and the trial-and-error process of developers actually figuring out how users are going to use bots. But one company, the slightly inappropriately named And Chill, has figured out how to build a bot that is actually well suited for Facebook's chat-based interface. And Chill is a movie recommendation engine that is eschewing the traditional "like/dislike" model of recommendation, instead pledging to dig deeper into the reasons a viewer would want to watch a certain movie. The bot can be accessed via Facebook Messenger or SMS.
