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.
