Hey everyone,

We have some exciting news to share with you all.

We'll be introducing a chatbot on our website soon to help support you with whatever you may be facing and signpost you to the right services. It will go on our 'Get Support' page and anyone will be able to use the chatbot to get support and find support options at any time.

We need your help choosing its name!

A few young people have suggested some great names so far and we'd love you to help in choosing the final name!

You can vote using the poll below and it has been made anonymous! Don't forget to head over to our Twitter and Instagram pages to vote on our channels here too. We'll be combing the results and choosing the name that has the most votes!

Can't wait to see the final name!

    i went chatbot101, cos like, i liked the name chatbot but 101 reminds me of room 101 which is where all your worst fears live, like robots

    or maybe the 101 is binary for 5 and i like the implication (insinuation? English very not easy) that there were 4 other chatbots but they tried to take over the world and were sent to the recycling bin in the sky

    oh the voting was supposed to be anonymous, sorry x

    Our ChatBot is now live on our website and you can find it here - https://www.themix.org.uk/get-support

    @Kesh260807 great question! The ChatBot will pop up on the right-hand side of the website and then you can talk to it and it will share resources and information to help you.

    It looks like this:

    Hey, I'm not sure I like mixbot, what ever question I ask it just doesn't understand what I'm saying and then it tries to guess but it goes horribly wrong.

    Sorry :neutral:
    That's very fair feedback @Past User. :)

    Would you be up for sending us a DM with the things you're saying and the answers it gives you? Then we can see where it might be going wrong and make it a bit smarter. :tongue:

    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
