What is an AI Chatbot?
An AI chatbot is a program within a website or app that uses machine
learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to interpret inputs and
understand the intent behind a request. It is trained on large data sets to
recognize patterns and understand natural language, allowing it to handle
complex queries and generate more accurate results. Additionally, an AI chatbot
can learn from previous conversations and gradually improve its responses.
1. ChatSpot
Price: Free
ChatSpot is HubSpot’s new conversational CRM bot. It combines the
capabilities of ChatGPT with unique data sources to help your business grow.
You can input your own queries or use one of ChatSpot’s many prompt templates,
which can help you find solutions for content writing, research, SEO,
prospecting, and more.

For example, I
prompted ChatSpot to write a follow-up email to a customer asking about how to
set up their CRM.
Though ChatSpot is free for everyone, you experience its full potential when

notes, and tasks. Plus, it can guide you through the HubSpot app and give you
tips on how to best use its tools.

2. ChatGPT
Price: Free; ChatGPT Plus: $20/month

ChatGPT is OpenAI’s conversational chatbot powered by GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. It
uses a standard chat interface to communicate with users, and its responses are
generated in real-time through deep learning algorithms, which analyze and
learn from previous conversations.
Because ChatGPT was pre-trained on a massive data collection, it can
generate coherent and relevant responses from prompts in various domains such
as finance, healthcare, customer service, and more. In addition to chatting
with you, it can also solve math problems, as well as write and debug code.
Both free and paid users of ChatGPT can enjoy unlimited usage. However,
ChatGPT Plus subscribers get to enjoy a few extra perks that free users do not
have, such as exclusive access to GPT-4, priority access during peak times, and
faster response speeds.
Key Features
- Uses
natural language processing to understand the context of conversations to
provide related and original responses in a human-like conversation
- Multiple
use cases for things like answering simple questions, ideating and getting
inspiration, or generating new content (like a marketing email)
- Improves
over time as it has more conversations
3. Bing
Chat
Price: Free (requires Microsoft Edge)
Microsoft describes Bing Chat as an AI-powered co-pilot for when you conduct
web searches. It expands the capabilities of search by combining the top
results of your search query to give you a single, detailed response. Plus, it
cites the sources from where it gets its information.
Bing also has an image creator tool where you can prompt it to create an
image of anything you want. You can even give details such as adjectives,
locations, or artistic styles so you can get the exact image you envision.
To get the most out of Bing, be specific, ask for clarification when you
need it, and tell it how it can improve. You can also ask Bing questions on how
to use it so you know exactly how it can help you with something and what its
limitations are.
Key Features
- Uses NLP
and machine learning to understand conversation prompts
- The
compose feature can generate original written content and images, and its
powerful search engine capabilities can surface answers from the web
- It’s a
conversational tool, so you can continue sending messages until you’re
satisfied
4. Bard
Price: Free
Google’s Bard is a multi-use AI chatbot — it can generate text and spoken
responses in over 40 languages, create images, code, answer math problems, and
more.
One of Bard’s strengths is that it is great with text. You can use it to
write and edit things, such as emails, resumes, and cover letters. Because it’s
created by Google, it also features a “Google it” button to help you learn more
about a given topic as well as exports to other Google products, like Google
Docs and Gmail.
Despite its impressive capabilities, Bard has faced criticisms for providing false and misleading information,
especially compared to ChatGPT.
Key Features
- Powered
by Google’s PaLM-2 (instead of GPT)
- Use it
for things like brainstorming and ideation, drafting unique and original
content, or getting answers to your questions
- Connected
to Google’s website index so it can access information from the internet

Jasper Chat is built with businesses in mind and allows users to apply AI to
their content creation processes. It can help you brainstorm content ideas,
write photo captions, generate ad copy, create blog titles, edit text, and
more.
Unlike ChatGPT, Jasper pulls knowledge straight from Google to ensure that
it provides you the most accurate information. It also learns your brand’s
voice and style, so the content it generates for you sounds less robotic and
more like you.
