Software systems are often designed without considering their social intentionality and the software process changes required to accommodate them. With the rise of artificial intelligence and cognitive services-based systems, software can no longer be considered a passive participant in a domain. Structured and methodological approaches are required to study the intentions and motives of such software systems and their corresponding effect on the design of business and software processes that

This paper considers chatbots as domain example for illustrating the complexities of designing such intentional and intelligent systems, and the resultant changes and reconfigurations in processes. A mechanism of associating process architecture models and actor models is presented. The modeling and analysis of two types of chatbots -retrieval-based and generative -are shown using both process architecture and actor models.
