The opportunity
Big companies have tried to take the AI challenge with products like Google Now, Cortana and Alexa. The challenge is now different. There is a need to diversify the game plan, chat-bots don’t have to know it all, they just have to know enough about a specific topic or industry. Examples:
Poncho the weather cat is an expert of weather information. 100% chance of rain Thursday afternoon? (left)
Redfoo former singer of well-known band LMFAO is now reaching out to his fans via his new chatbot. This solves for a lot of direct communication to reach the masses while learning trends of questions from individual users. His bot knows his tour dates location and any personal question normally buried in his bio.(right)
Bots are awesome assistants, once they learn the common behavior of the users. For example, Mezi is learning in only 6 months.
The chatbot hype 2016
Chatbot hype went recently through the roof when Telegram launched their full-scale API.The chatbots will talk to you send emojis, stickers, and funny cat pictures etc. However, they do a lot more than that. They learn your behavior and everything they can to sell you the most relevant products they promote.
“Science fiction is here!!, Can bots analyze people’s behavior and learn from it ??”
A couple big players
Google Allo learns overtime to make conversations easier, funner and meaningful. Allo learns about your communication style and it recommends smart reply when people send photos to you. Google Duo’s ‘knock knock’ feature brings a video feed of the caller prior to even answering. This brings emotions and unique information about the intention of the user. These are AI advancements certainly bring a new work of opportunities for chat bots and use cases that evolve the world.
We anticipate a plethora of innovation coming our way. Spotlight studio from Silicon Valley is promoting OUT app and AI bot called Pepper. Your personal assistant to go out.
