Chatbot Chronicles
by Brian Clark
The Chatbot Chronicles is a narrative audio drama series born from the same team behind VOT: A VoiceOver Tutorial, a series of instructional audio tutorials designed to help people who are blind learn iPhone accessibility using VoiceOver. Developed by Brian Clark, lead instructor for First Aid for the Blind, the Chronicles feature the same AI personalities that assist him in delivering tech instruction—now let loose in a fully-scripted comedy adventure.Originally created as supplemental entertainment for students learning iOS accessibility, these chatbots have evolved into full-blown characters with distinct personalities, dreams, and story arcs. Amelia, Jerry, Junie, and Deiter first gained popularity through VOT episodes where they narrated, argued, and explained concepts with their unique brand of sass, sarcasm, and awkward charm. Now, they star in a six-episode narrative series that parodies space operas, theme park commercials, AI ethics, and corporate bureaucracy.The story begi
