Finally clicked into this little beauty called QnA Markup - a free, open source app for in-house and private practice lawyers alike to create interactive Q and A sessions, or to be fancy about it, build stand-alone expert systems or for rule-based document construction. Or even, dare I say, a bot!

Start playing with the chat on the right, then watch the video intro to get a good feel.
Hat tip to David Colarusso for crafting it :)
