In my script, there is an AI chatbot character - ANNIE - that real characters communicate with via text.

ANNIE has animated reactions and has an artificial speaking voice.

Would I write ANNIE’S dialogue like any other character?

Or would it be more action/description based?

BTW - this isn’t set in the future like the movie HER. So, ANNIE isn’t a super intelligent chatbot.

**I want to know how to _format/present_ her dialogue in the script, not how to write it**
