Here's a transcript of today's conversation with the bot.
-- Nachrichten werden automatisch aus der ursprünglichen Sprache übersetzt --Answer Bot sagt:Vielen Dank, dass Sie Foxit erreicht haben.Answer Bot sagt:Ich bin der automatisierte Chat-Bot von Foxit. Wie kann ich dir heute helfen?
The bot should either use "Sie" (formal) or "dir" (informal). Mixing the two forms gives a very bad first impression.

None of the articles was helpful in my case. The bot didn't say how I should continue in that case, so I tried a simple "no".

Same articles as before. If they had helped me, I wouldn't have asked again.

Did I just reset the chat session by simply saying "no"? That's not helpful either.

It's actually good that the bot doesn't know about German swear words.

I get the impression that the bot doesn't understand anything at all. Furthermore, the bot mentions "one of these answers" but then doesn't list any answers, so I had to ask again.

It seems that "vergiss es" or the other German swear word resets the chat session as well.

You cannot, it seems."
(After I explained to him that you based your Answer Bot translation on Google translation and you promised sometime next year you will have a capability to customized wording.)
"Does your answer mean that despite its awful quality, the bot still serves a purpose that is worth enough to keep it? From what I tried, the bot is a complete waste of time, no matter whether in English or in German. Or did I just use the wrong keywords?"
I'm very upset to get this feedback and disappointed at your product. I've tried every method on you help center but Answer Bot is still kind of joke. Why are your new useful features so hard to develop???
