Inspiration

I wanted to put my animation skills altogether with the chatbot workflow to create something original, a new experience which enhances the bot-user interactivity radically.

What it does

The main function the Drawbot is designed to do is, provide the users with their customized & uniquely designed cartoon-like portraits. Other than that, he can compliment you through texts and gifs. Overall, the character formation of this bot has been done in such a way that he enables positivity is the user's mind and makes them more confident about themselves. While we face our current pandemic, a conversation with Drawbot will certainly make you feel better. Moreover, globally an enormous number of people constantly concern about their appearance, which significantly affect their mental health and lower their productivity. An opportunity to talk with such a chatbot, will boost their self-confidence and make their states only better!
