HR support within organisations, too. I'm aware of some large organistaions currently investing in chatbots right now to help people find out how many vacation days they have left, find policies relating to their job etc.

Though this issue might equally be resolved by intranet search engines no longer being painfully bad (e.g. ones powered by Microsoft Graph).

Why does that need to be a chatbot, though?

That seems like it should be something that could be a trivial CRUD website, with far less complexity.

Larry Ellison actually did a demo of an HR support chat bot at OpenWorld 2016 a few years ago.

He used the chatbot to ask what his 2016 salary was going to be after taxes :/
