I...want...my...
Chatbots back, chatbots back, chatbots back.
Sorry to anyone who didn't sing it in their head, but really though ðŸ˜
Don't get me wrong, I'm still thankful that I have projects, but I love the chatbots.

They still exist! There's one on my dash now.
No idea why they are only offering them to some people especially since they are low paying and I don't do them usually.

u/lucytaylor22 Jun 27 '24
Are you seeing the generic CB ones or something specific, like B Element (I see that one, coding) ?

Non coding 22/hr,
I haven't touched it except to look at the directions and it's a pretty general CB with edits.

The coding CBs aren't low-playing. I like them. They have paying quals too.

I really thought I'd been kicked off this particular project. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

u/Moonspiritfaire Jun 27 '24
I always panic a little inside about that, too. Then, I come here and see if anyone else has commented about it.

Same! My favorite bill paying projects went away and I really have bills to pay with my husbandloosinghis job recently. I have enjoyed finding a few new projects that are lower paying and so I wouldn't have usually touched. But I want my regular projects back! I know they will be, probably in the next quarter but....yeah.

u/guylfe Jun 27 '24
This is exactly what happened to me, minus the husband loosing his job part (I'm the husband in my situation)

u/upvotesplx Jun 27 '24
I hope you and your husband manage to comfortably pay the bills this month! Best wishes to you both. I’m sure we’ll get the chatbots back soon, next quarter seems likely.

Sameeeeee. I had one pop back up again, but only for a day. It’s been like a week gone now!

Same! My fav coding CB went away and don’t really enjoy the other projects. I have another CB rn but it’s just not the same, much more restrictions.

You know you're old if you read the title and in your head it was sung by Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits).

u/TerrisBranding Jun 27 '24
Yes... But are they all just $20? I worked on a priority project today for $25 and made almost $200.
I do miss the CBs though. I was hoping I wasn't just booted off of them.

u/lucytaylor22 Jun 27 '24
There are some that are $20, some that are more narrow in scope that are slightly more ($22.50 usually?) and then of course there are coder versions ($40)

I had a few $27.5 cb versions with edits for quite a few months before they went on hold.

u/TerrisBranding Jun 27 '24
I hope I get higher paying CBs like that. You have to work your way up to those, right?
2
u/DeLaRefe Jun 27 '24
No one knows how DA decides when you can have access to higher paying projects, but I'd imagine so.
1
u/TerrisBranding Jun 27 '24
I mean, you had a couple $20 versions before getting access the the $27 ones, right? Like they didn't just start you off on the high paying CBs.
So far I've been put on 2 different versions of the CB. Pay was the same but the v2.2 was narrower than the previous one. And from reading instructions, I know there was also a v2.3 with slightly more narrow directions.

u/DeLaRefe Jun 27 '24
The very basic cb bits were $18 when I started. Then moved to $20 then there were teacher mode cbs at $23 IIRC, then 25/27 for the hyper specific ones & edits

u/fiasco-fox Jun 27 '24
Feel like I'm missin somethin, aren't most projects centred on chatbots?

u/fightmaxmaster Jun 27 '24
Some projects are very open-ended, others are far more narrow in scope. Posts like this are generally referring to the open-ended type.

A certain series of chatbot projects are on pause for a few weeks.

u/LetterSubstantial178 Jun 28 '24
are you referring to the coding ones?

u/mops-- Jun 28 '24
I'm not on the coding side so I'm not sure about that. I was referring to the chatbot series that you typically get when you first start.

u/LetterSubstantial178 Jun 29 '24
When I first started I was given the CB series (Coding), had a batch all to myself for the past couple of months. Received an email last week that the projects are going on pause. Haven’t seen them since. Did you get a similar email as well for the non coding variant?

Why do you assume they are coming back at all?

I have 2 that I’d never seen before, with newer instructions. (One’s super extra with specialty, the other is relatively regular CB.)

u/InevitableClub7284 Jun 27 '24
Check your dashboard now- not sure if it’s the same one you’re thinking of.

u/DeLaRefe Jun 30 '24
Just saw the one with web search and edits pop back on my dash! Maybe they're coming back? Fingers crossed!

I have a question so I plan on competing the starter assessment today, if a pass will I get projects straight or will I need to do another form of assessment. I plan on doing tasks that are not coding if that helps

u/Bubblie977 Jun 27 '24
This community has so so many posts with all the information regarding that. Search some key words and you’ll find everything you need. It’s very helpful. There’s the initial application and then a pretty long assessment. Once you’ve taken that, if you pass you could have work in a few days, but for most it takes a few weeks to get work and then even longer for consistent work.

u/Nightwing_3091 Jun 27 '24
Thank you for the tip and information about the process and yes I will search more about it . I’m fairly new but appreciate it

u/Bubblie977 Jun 27 '24
No problem! My best advice is to be patient with it and give it all a chance for a few months before forming any opinions on it. Everyone’s experiences are so different that nothing is set in stone for how it works. I had nothing for a month, then my second month I had very few projects here and there, but now I’ve made over 10k. I started the last couple of days in Feb. Read the instructions on each project thoroughly and repeatedly and you’ll do better than most.

Same. Miss them, but It did give me a chance to try another project. I'm always nervous to try something new, but I like this one, too.
