Chatbot
A conversational interface that receives messages and produces responses in an exchange with a user.
Key difference
Chatbot describes the interaction form; it can answer without having an autonomous action loop.
Example
An assistant answers a question about an internal policy from a document collection.
Counter-example
A scheduled process that synchronizes two databases without conversation is not a chatbot.
