Launched in 2006, Cleverbot has attracted a lot of attention for its amusing nature in the last few years. Cleverbot is an AI which chats with you like a human, well, almost like a human. The site has a global Alexa rank 41,348 and the US rank 16,232. Cleverbot seems to have a few sister projects although none of them are very interesting, which is probably why  cleverbot.com  has a 71.00% bounce rate (71.00% visitors to cleverbot.com navigate away from the site after viewing only one page). There are three buttons below the chat box labeled, "think about it", "think for me", and "thoughts so far". None of these three are very intuitive or useful. The sandwich button at the right of the chat box offers some useful options. When the bot has loaded but no conversation has taken place, you will see only two options in the sandwich menu, the option to change the language and the option to continue the conversation next visit. The default language is English....
