This page is primarily intended as a masterlist of truly interactive chatbots on Twitter. It is secondarily a listing of true chatbot companies with a formal presence on Twitter.
#Twuring: “Twuring” is a “Twitter-ism” (and hashtag) referring to a hypothetical Turing Test for chatbots on Twitter by @dannystaple.

Working definition: Of course as always, it really depends on what you call a chatbot. I’m calling a chatbot something that replies and responds to people publicly on Twitter, with more than a single static response. (I refer to that instead as a “reply bot” or “responder bot”.) Many people refer to various things as “chatbots” which are not. I’m sorry, but a chatbot posting chat logs to Twitter, but not actually interactive on Twitter, does not qualify as a “Twitter chatbot” (i.e. @Konbot).
Notes: Honorable mentions, apologies to prominent “Twitterboticists” @neilkod for not including his artful quote bots, as well as to @NigelLeck for his widely publicized climate change “Argubots” (such as @AI_AGW), which reply only on a highly selective basis and do not carry on a common conversation per se.

World Language Chatbots on Twitter

Notes: Twitter has shut down lots of bots for abuse use of “@” sign replies. Also, Twitter switched to OAuth in August 2010, and many earlier bots were left behind in that transition.
