Chatbots
There are various projects in place to enable chatbots that can answer natural-language questions based on the contents of one or more MediaWiki installations - both for smaller wikis and for massive, general-knowledge wikis such as Wikipedia and Wikidata. (In some cases, the projects cover tasks in addition to answering questions, such as performing edits.)
Here are some of the current projects that deliver such functionality:
- AskWikidata - a simple chatbot for Wikidata[1]
- Chatbot MediaWiki extension
- Juggel - a chat platform (created by the company of the same name) that can make use of data from a variety of sources, including MediaWiki[2]
- Microsoft Copilot Studio - a service that allows people to create their own chatbots, or "copilots", using one or more of their own data sources; MediaWiki is one of the supported data source types[3]
- WikiChat - a chatbot available to wikis hosted with MyWikis[4]
- Wikipedia ChatGPT plugin - not its own chatbot, but a plugin to a very well-known chatbot, ChatGPT[5]
