We at Microsoft think about bots as somewhat "intelligent", as in - they understand your intent. There's a little example chat with a pizza bot: It's a subtle difference, but being able to have a conversation vs navigating a flow chart is pretty powerful for a bunch of applications.

Hey pizza bot!

> Hey Jeremy! The usual tonight?

Nah, I'd like to try something new

> We have added three new items:

> 1) Hawaiian

> 2) BBQ

> 3) The Works

Option 3 please.

> Shall I send this to your home?
