Chatbots are a fancy name for when your API is accessible through some well-known IM service.
They come with all of the monetization issues of APIs, but they're surfaced in an environment where you have no pre-existing relationship with the client, and you can't even charge them for access.
This essentially limits the business model to where you give away the chatbot and make money some other way; or you recognize you have no business model and do it anyway.
