Description

Fueled by the growth of messaging apps, conversational interfaces are quickly becoming an essential component of every service and product. This development means we need to rethink human-computer interaction paradigms and evolve them to address an unprecedented variety of form factors and input methods. As conversational interfaces grow in popularity and customers increasingly crave both immediate and authentic communication, how can businesses adapt to best serve their needs?
