> where’s the URL?
Where is the URL indeed! This a something I have also struggled with. A chatbot may live on your desktop or live on a network server. The tricky part is that your desktop may also be used as network server. If the chatbot lives on a remote server, then we can say it lives in the cloud. There are many web services where you can make chatbots that live remotely in the cloud; however, very often you may have to download the chatbot knowledge to work on it on your desktop. Another tricky part is that most command-line chatbot programming has to be first built on your own desktop machine before it can be pushed or “published” to a remote server. If the chatbot is on your own desktop, you may access it through your browser - even if offline, or there may be another interface, text or graphic, that is not dependent on the browser. Honestly, I have found no perfect way to make a chatbot yet, though probably Pandorabots comes the closest. This is one reason I’ve come to prefer web APIs, because at least you know where the darn URL endpoint is…. ;^)
