Chatbot UI is the visible interface customers interact with, including chat windows, buttons, quick replies, and branding elements businesses can customise.
What is Chatbot UI?
Chatbot UI refers to the visual and interactive elements a customer sees and uses during an automated conversation. This includes the chat window itself, message bubbles, buttons, quick reply options, and any branding such as colours, logos, and avatars.
The UI is separate from the logic running behind a chatbot. Two chatbots can run identical conversation flows but look completely different to the customer depending on how the interface is designed.
Common UI elements include the chat widget on a website, button based menus for navigation, quick reply chips for fast responses, carousels for showing multiple options, and typing indicators that show the bot is processing a reply.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the most important UI elements in a chatbot?
Chat widget placement, welcome message, quick reply buttons, message bubbles, typing indicators, and avatar/branding colors.
