And this is how this chatbot fits in exactly with the long term developments of the dialogue I’ve written about more often here. The waiting is, where I’m concerned, for the first speech-driven chatbots. Around that time, brand builders will also be meddling with brand agents because it’s in the dialogue that affection can be created, that emotion can be created, that a connection can be formed. Exactly what brand builders have been waiting for, but that’s currently only optimized for the ‘sending’.
