Bots, the next frontier?

At Botware we are seeing conversational interfaces becoming the new mobile design paradigm. From Poncho, a messaging based weather service, to Giphy bot in Slack, to the Digg news search bot, chat bots are establishing the most convenient way to interact with the services and media you love.

With these developments in mind, we can soon expect an unprecedented surge in demand for bots.

What about the bot in botware?

We've trained ourselves to click through apps or search in weird phrases to get the information we want. You wake up thinking "I wonder if it will rain today" and instead you have to open an app and search with your zip code to see if it's raining. Chatbots could change everything about how you surf the web. In the future, you could just say "I wonder if it will rain today" and a chatbot would know your location and be able to answer conversationally whether you should bring an umbrella. No apps. No search box.

In a nutshell, what we are all about...

What are chatbots

These are text-based services which let users complete tasks such as checking news, organising meetings, ordering food or booking a flight by sending short messages.
Bots are usually powered by artificial intelligence (hence the name, as in “robot”), but may also rely on humans.
Many in the technology industry hope that the introduction of bot frameworks will mark the beginning of another fast-growing, multi-billion-dollar software economy. Are bots the new apps?

What's up and away

Smartphone software is still in flux. Download numbers are still growing, but the users' enthusiasm is waning, as they find downloading apps and navigating between them a hassle. A quarter of all downloaded apps are abandoned after single use.

Only instant messaging bucks the trend. Over 2.5 billion people have at least one messaging app installed, with Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, which is also owned by Facebook, leading the pack (see chart). Within a couple of years, that will reach 3.6 billion, about half of humanity. Many teenagers now spend more time on smartphones sending instant messages than perusing social networks. WhatsApp users average nearly 200 minutes each week using the service.

Talking out of your bots

Bots - as short for robot - are a way for consumers to interact with companies. Bots pretend to be human and you talk to them through a chat-like interface.
At the other end sits an artificial intelligence computer that can make sense of your broken sentences, text abbreviations and absence of capital letters.
Thus, for today's chat-obsessed millennials, conversing with your company using a chatbot will be no different to chatting with their mates.
That - at the very essence - is the idea.
