MVP Stories As a customer:
-I want the bot to validate my account as quickly as possible so that I can get my question answered fast.
-I want to chat with the bot in a way that I am accustomed to, like within an instant/direct message or SMS, so that I feel comfortable using the bot.
-I want to be able to get the answer I need as quickly as possible so that I don't have to wade through FAQs on my own.
