I love the idea. At this point, I wouldn't put it on my profile, but can see the value in doing so once it's progressed.

Right now, much of the interaction is with the bot itself, and not the person it's representing. As a questioner, I don't care how the bot is doing - I would expect the answer to come on behalf of the bot owner. The humor around "asking Alexa in a few hours" was unexpected, and the links provided didn't seem related to my original question.

Also, please support submitting the question when hitting Return, rather than forcing a click on the submit button every time.

Again, I think natural language chatbots can be a big deal, acting as interactive agents that represent their owner for all sorts of situations. But until that interaction is smoother and slightly more believable - not "out of the uncanny valley" perfect or passing a Turing test, but closer to an actual dynamic conversation - it's tough and provides less value, more slowly, than simply scanning profile text.

Let me add that it might be better if the chatbot WERE acting as an agent, referring to its owner by name, instead of pretending to BE them. For example, when asked "What are your areas of expertise" it might be better if the chatbot responded with something like, "diggum has 15 years experiencing designing creative tools for designers..." Right now, it's a bit split personality responding as the bot for some things and as the owner for others.

Thanks for the great feedback

- The humor does seem out of place for a professional chatbot experience, will get that sorted out - Return was interfering with the private messages, will enable that as soon as I figure that out - Also, the part about acting as an agent and not split personality (1st person vs 3rd) is what had me confused as well. I'll update the response in the 3rd person format.
