Abstract
Microblogging platforms can provide novel, attractive opportunities for communicating and disseminating content about important events from the past. We propose a novel framework for building interactive chatbot systems that post history-related content including automatic quizzes related to current temporal context and that take and assess user responses. The chatbot is currently available on Twitter sharing history-related quizzes in English (The code, quiz data and evaluation results are available at https://github.com/sumilab/programs/tree/master/histo_chatbot_quiz.). We are the first to propose guidelines for designing history-focused chatbot systems that aim at fulfilling educational and entertaining objectives in microblogging platforms.

We assume here that the HistoChatbot Developer denotes a real user.

Assuming for this example that the user lives in New Zealand.

In the future, we plan to apply named entity recognition tools to allow users to write arbitrary texts.
