  • Patent number: 10817265
    Abstract: A process for developing a chatbot object file includes generating an object file that includes platform agnostic logic and is free of platform specific executable code. The object file is generated from a chatbot flow that is created by a developer through a drag-and-drop interface by linking the user-created chatbot flow to at least one library of common chatbot code elements. Further, a process for deploying a chatbot comprises executing a platform that maps agnostic logic to specific commands of the platform and receiving an object file for a chatbot, where the object file includes logic agnostic to the platform. Further, the process comprises initializing a chatbot instance on the platform based on the received object file and the platform by mapping the agnostic logic of the object file to the specific commands of the platform and associating an interface to a user interface associated with the chatbot instance.
