7. Helpfulness
Clients’ OA or LINE@For bots that interact with users, the most important thing the
judges will consider is whether or not they are helpful to users.
User Adoption We will digitally count how many LINE friends you have made
LINE Spirit
We want to see bots that LINE users will want to use, such as bots that can be used in
groups or ones that explore various message types with buttons and carousels.
Impact
We hope to see bots that will truly leave an impact on users, changing people's daily
lives or even how society works.
Long Term Viability
FreeThere are plenty of great short-term ideas for bots, but we will pay special
consideration to those bots who show the ability to continue in the long-term after the
BOT AWARDS to help create new business.
