  Try it out at Istanbul, Ankara or Izmir and see how it works. If it does, I suspect it is an issue with the data about Kayseri rather than the bot.

    I'm currently using data from Yelp, and chances are that Yelp is not too popular in some countries. Is TripAdvisor the go-to for Istanbul? I have toyed with the idea of implementing Yelp, TripAdvisor and Google Place for different countries due to their database.

      The problem seems, the bot acts weird if it founds no data, or it really doesn't understand the phrase.

      To start with, restrict it to a few countries where Yelp works reasonably.

  It's a risk relying solely on a platform that hasn't determined its business model yet though. They could easily pull off a Google Maps (read: get 'em hooked, charge a lot).

Perhaps a little off-topic, but would it be possible to make a chatbot whose answers or "personality" are based on somebody's emails and chat history, similar to the concept of the Black Mirror episode, Be Right Back? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back_(Black_Mirror) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back_(Black_Mirror)
