How Viki behaves in the chat
Viki behaves like a person: she marks your message as read and shows «typing…» while preparing the answer. It isn’t decoration — you can see you’ve been heard and that a reply is on its way rather than lost.
Why it matters more than it seems
Silence in a messenger breeds anxiety. You’ve sent a message and can’t tell: did it arrive? did something break? A read receipt answers that in a second, and «typing…» explains the pause before a long reply.
What you’ll see
- Your message is marked read almost immediately.
- While a calculation runs, the typing status is on.
- Long readings arrive in parts, not as one wall of text — easier to read.
This is not pretending to be human
We don’t claim Viki is alive: the site and the bot itself say plainly that she’s a program. But a program can have manners. The difference between «the bot went silent for ten seconds» and «the bot shows it’s typing» is the difference between anxiety and calm.
What won’t happen
Viki doesn’t write first without a reason. The only messages she initiates are the ones you subscribed to: the card of the day at your hour, and transit alerts on Pro — never more than one a day.
See for yourself how she responds.
