Popup vs embedded chatbots: choosing the right layout for your website
This blog post looks at the differences between the usual popup chatbots and an embedded version. It's all about what you need your chatbot to do and how it's best done in your required context.

Mobile behaviour matters too, and both approaches | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
