Name the Bot Contest

WCIA has a brand-new Risk Management Bot on the way! It’s utilizing WCIA’s Liability Resource Manual to help answer your risk questions and provide sample language and documents for your use. But before our bot can roll out…it needs a name. 

That is where YOU come in? We are kicking off a Name the Bot Contest.
Send us your best ideas – funny, clever, or downright brilliant professional name suggestions.
Deadline – Friday, October 3, 2025, at 5 p.m.
Win a prize – not only eternal bragging rights, but also WCIA flair.
Fame & glory – the winning name will be used everywhere the bot lives!

Drop your entry here: https://www.wciapool.org/FormCenter/Contact-4/General-Contact-Form-46. This is a chance to leave your mark on a tool that will help us all manage risk more effectively. Get your creativity flowing—we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
