I really, really need to be able to interact with one of these to evaluate it. like, demo right on the homepage without having to sign up or anything.<p>Right now I have no idea what it is, and no incentive to invest any amount of time finding out. I did not wake up this morning thinking that I need a chat bot for my resume, so they really need to make it clear wtf this thing is and how it will help me accomplish a goal

For some reason, I read the title as a social network for chatbots to look for jobs. Honestly, a little disappointed to see it that it wasn&#x27;t that.

I gave it a try. On the profile I tried, the blurb was of the form &quot;As &lt;position&gt; at &lt;company&gt;, I&#x27;m focused on using &lt;technology&gt;...&quot;, so I asked:<p>- What kind of &lt;technology&gt; experience do you have?<p>- How long have you been &lt;position&gt;?<p>- When did you join &lt;company&gt;?<p>- What does &lt;company&gt; do?<p>Result: 0&#x2F;4. &quot;I have no clue&quot; or similar meaningless answers every time.

I do like the idea, but I can&#x27;t seem to import my LinkedIn profile. That for me is an essential feature. Forcing me to fill out a lot of data without an immediate return seems to be a bit of a big hurdle. Also in the advanced training page the user can enter custom questions. I feel like this page could be improved with sample questions, otherwise it is hard to deduct what to write there.

It looks like “Debug Mode” is enabled in this website [1].<p>That may contribute to some security vulnerabilities in the future.<p>I encourage you to consider turning debug mode off in production.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;presbot.com&#x2F;1-&lt;&gt;&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;presbot.com&#x2F;1-&lt;&gt;&#x2F;</a>

This is an interesting idea! Wouldn&#x27;t the title make more sense if it was Chatbots for LinkedIn?<p>It is quite funny in its responses but not quite coherent. Tried questioning this bot - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;presbot.com&#x2F;57-minkowsky&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;presbot.com&#x2F;57-minkowsky&#x2F;</a><p>Me: Are you an engineer?<p>Presbot: Ahh, I don&#x27;t know. I&#x27;ll bring this up in my meeting with Alexa in a couple hours.

I love the idea. At this point, I wouldn&#x27;t put it on my profile, but can see the value in doing so once it&#x27;s progressed.<p>Right now, much of the interaction is with the bot itself, and not the person it&#x27;s representing. As a questioner, I don&#x27;t care how the bot is doing - I would expect the answer to come on behalf of the bot owner. The humor around &quot;asking Alexa in a few hours&quot; was unexpected, and the links provided didn&#x27;t seem related to my original question.<p>Also, please support submitting the question when hitting Return, rather than forcing a click on the submit button every time.<p>Again, I think natural language chatbots can be a big deal, acting as interactive agents that represent their owner for all sorts of situations. But until that interaction is smoother and slightly more believable - not &quot;out of the uncanny valley&quot; perfect or passing a Turing test, but closer to an actual dynamic conversation - it&#x27;s tough and provides less value, more slowly, than simply scanning profile text.

Something like this would be a pipedream in 2012. Really amazing, but at the same time a bit concerning - there is this AI engine that acts on my behalf and expresses my personality. That&#x27;s pretty damn creepy.

What if the chatbot asked questions and created a resume for me?<p>What if the bot emails me to ask the question &quot;What are you working on?&quot;<p>What&#x27;s new?<p>What have you worked on these past few days?<p>And use the answers to create a constantly updated resume.

How can I see one of these in action?

Looks fun, I&#x27;ll have a try later today.<p>BTW : Create a free personal chatbot in a breeze, and share it&#x27;s link on your resume! -&gt; its link?

&gt; hi<p>Looks like I have no information on K.&#x27;s&#x27; professional achievements<p>&gt; oh really?<p>Presbot 1:47 AM<p>Hmm… no clue. I&#x27;ll try to ask my bot buddy Google Assistant to see if it knows.<p>I pulled some results from Wikipedia for you:<p>- 70&#x2F;20&#x2F;10 model (learning and development)<p>- List of songs and yells of the University of Trinity College<p>- O RLY?<p>- Really Really Free Market<p>- Really Really Happy
