Quick Tip: Creating a ChatBot with Ads

Creating a Trivia Bot with Ads

Introduction

Welcome to our guide on how to create an interactive sports trivia chatbot with integrated ads to enhance user engagement and promote local businesses.

Step 1: Planning Your Ads

1. Determine Ad Frequency: Decide how often you want the ads to appear. For this example, we'll insert ads after questions 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15, then repeat a random ad every few questions (18, 22, 25, etc.).

2. Create Promotional Messages: Draft engaging promotional messages for each ad spot. Ensure they are relevant and enticing.

Step 2: Creating GIFs for Ads

1. Use Canva for GIF Creation: Design eye-catching GIFs for each ad using Canva. Incorporate the promotional message in a visually appealing format.

2. Upload to Giphy: Upload your GIFs to Giphy to get shareable links. This makes it easy to display them within your chatbot.

Step 3: Setting Up the Chatbot

1. Define the Chatbot's Function: The bot will specialize in sports trivia, asking engaging questions and providing immediate feedback.

2. Programming the Trivia Questions: Implement the trivia questions and ensure the chatbot can handle user responses effectively.

Step 4: Inserting Ads into the Trivia Flow
