The beginning of a new era
It’s been less than a decade that Bots entered our world, and undoubtedly they are replacing the traditional chatting mobile apps. In a layman’s language, chatbots are artificial intelligent tech innovation that can interact with you just like humans.

Emojis were earlier called emoticons which were used in the chatrooms of 1990s as :-), :-(, 8-), and many more. In 1999, a Japanese artist named Shigetaka Kurita created the world’s first emojis. Since then they have had an upward journey.
Emojis have become an integral part of all our lives as we often used it while texting through various apps. However, now the emojis are finding its way in chatbots too. Many companies use emojis to render better customer experience. Many big names have started using emojis like CNN, 1-800 Flowers, Taco Bell, and Eggplant etc.
