Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, time was spent learning programming languages, frameworks, and tools necessary for chatbot development. As skills improved, more time was dedicated to client work, including designing, coding, and testing chatbots. Administrative tasks like managing client communications and project planning also took time. Marketing efforts, such as building an online presence and networking, were ongoing. Time spent varied, with more hours upfront for learning and setup, and less once projects were underway. Online, people report that chatbot development can be demanding, especially when balancing learning and client work, but it becomes more manageable with experience.
