Chatbox development continues to be a rapidly growing element on many platforms with some posts suggesting "the chatbot market is projected to account for $1.23 billion by the year 2025".
I'm wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction. I am wondering if there are any initiatives for chatbox development similar to what has been done for drupal 8/9 using Google Dialogflow:

Or if people think there is a better approach.
Thank you,
Izzy

If you’re planning on building this from scratch, you might look at how the seven module handles SMS/external APIs as a reference for the connection side. Integrating Dialogflow via a custom block or layout would probably be the cleanest way to do it in Backdrop. Let us know if you start a GitHub repo for it, I'd love to follow the progress!
