See how my interaction with this Facebook messenger bot went
Laide bot wants to order your favourite Nigerian Jollof, gift you 5% cashback when you buy airtime and more.
With chat bots like Laidebot developed by a Nigerian named IwokJoseph, you can get to integrate payments with your conversations.
From buying airtime and ordering your dear Nigerian jollof to paying for movie tickets, and more, Laide wants to help you get things done, giving you that human-like contact feel and pampering you deserve.
I went ahead to have a light-hearted chat with Laide and this was how it went down.

Oops, Laide replies with a restaurant suggestion in Ikoyi. Not so accurate on first attempt.
You may get a better result compared with mine. Don't write her off.
Give Laide bot a spin on Facebook messenger. Be adventurous like me.
