How to Choose the Right Bot Idea

Start with the task that consumes most of your time or loses you the most customers. For most businesses that is answering repetitive questions, which makes an FAQ or support bot the highest-impact first project. Pick one idea, launch a simple version, and expand based on how people actually use it.
