WRT is reviewing chatbots, and we are soliciting submissions.
Do you have or know of a bot with some unique characteristics or interesting approach that you think others would be interested in? Tell us about it.
(NOTE: You must review one chatbot for each one that you submit to the gallery. We want this to be a community of researchers.)
