Adding an AI chatbot to your website doesn’t just help your customers (although its function is undoubtedly important); it’s also an opportunity to align your branding across touchpoints and increase brand awareness. So whether you opt for a catchy, clever, descriptive, or memorable one, choosing the right chatbot name is crucial.
Your chatbot’s name is a customer’s first impression of what your digital solution can do for them. Do you want to convey its purpose, trustworthiness, or industry? What tone do you want your customers to associate with your brand? How do you even begin to narrow down a list of chatbot names?
Not to worry. We’ve come up with more than 150 AI chatbot names, plus some top tips to help you get started (and we throw in a glimpse of how Jotform can help throughout your chatbot-building process).
Tips for choosing the perfect chatbot name
Chatbot names like Siri and Alexa have become synonymous with the brands they represent. But there’s more to these names than just memorable assonance or the fact that they make you feel like you’re calling a human friend’s name. Apple started with a name that was easy to say and spell. When it bought the rights to the technology, it assigned the name additional meaning (an acronym for “Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface”). Meanwhile, Amazon’s Alexa is named after the ancient Library of Alexandria, positioning the tool as a source of knowledge.
Those are just a couple of examples of the approaches you can take when ideating AI chatbot names. Here are a few other tips:
- Reflect your brand’s personality: Whether your brand voice is friendly and fun or cool and professional, your chatbot name should align with it. This tool will be an extension of the brand your current and prospective customers are familiar with.
- Clarify the bot’s purpose: What is a chatbot used for? Ideally, your chatbot’s name will convey its purpose in a split second. As you explore chatbot name ideas, consider your chatbot’s primary function and how you might communicate it.
- Keep it short and simple: Long names might be more descriptive, but they’re also harder to remember. The best AI chatbot names are short, one- or two-word names that stick in a customer’s mind. They are easy to recall and associate with your brand.
- Decide between a humanlike name and a bot-like name: A bot-like name might make it easier to communicate your chatbot’s functionality or purpose (think: SupportBot), but a human name might make your bot more personable and easier to relate to (think: Ava). A middle ground might be a descriptive acronym that spells out a humanlike name (like Siri!).
- Check for availability: With so many chatbots on the market, you’ll want to ensure the name you choose isn’t already taken. This is especially important with trademarked chatbot names, as an unintended slipup could lead to costly legal consequences.
Chatbot names by category
Ask yourself: What do you want your chatbot’s personality to reflect? Will it be professional or tongue-in-cheek? Will its name connect directly to your brand? Assigning your chatbot a particular category can help you refine your list of potential names.
Consider these options for inspiration and think about what makes them stand out.
