Abstract

Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for expanding user-chatbot conversations to include other relevant users. In some embodiments, the users are deemed to potentially be interested in learning information regarding the conversation topic. In other embodiments, the users are deemed to be potentially able to provide additional information regarding the conversation topic. In embodiments, a submitted question to a chatbot in a conversation on a messaging platform is received. The topic of the submitted question is identified. A probability that one or more additional users would benefit from an answer to the submitted question is determined. One or more additional users are invited to the conversation based on the determined probability that one or more additional users would benefit from an answer to, and/or provide information regarding, the submitted question.
