Recommended LINE Bots

LINE is a communication tool that we use every day.

Besides exchanging messages with family and friends, LINE offers various convenient features, such as LINE gifts and LINE points.

Among these, the spotlight this time is on LINE bots.

A LINE bot is, simply put, an automated chatbot.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) communicates on LINE instead of humans,

so for example, if you input "Don't forget to make the transfer on your way home today," it will send you a message at the specified time.

There are various kinds of LINE bots that can be used in this convenient way, and anyone from companies to individuals can create them.

In this article, we will introduce several popular LINE bots that are useful in daily life and have a large number of friends registered.

Recommended LINE Bot 1: Reminder-kun

"Reminder-kun" is a reminder service.

If you tell it something you want to remember later via LINE in advance, it will send you a message at the specified time.

It's easy to miss or ignore notifications from calendar apps or alarms, but with LINE, which you use frequently, you can notice it immediately.

With Japan Post's LINE bot "Posukuma," you can request redelivery, pickups, track packages, and create and purchase stamps. Isn’t that amazing?

Moreover, when requesting redelivery, you only need to take a photo of the delivery slip and send it—no need to type in that long number!

After getting married, the number of letters and postcards increases, so it's a LINE bot that is definitely worth registering.
