Summary | Most big tech companies seem to agree: chatbots are the future. They mean a move from downloading several apps to using just one app that incorporates services (chatbots) from third parties. These third party services are accessible through a conversational interface: chatting with a bot. Artificial intelligence research is making huge strides but is still faulty as the Tay debacle showed. Microsoft let their AI chatbot Tay loose on Twitter to learn how people actually speak. What Tay learned however was mostly racist and otherwise inappropriate so the experiment was ended prematurely.

Summary | Twitter users can now initiate Google searches from within the app by tweeting @Google with the search term. Anothernew feature is that users can search Google with an emoji. A chatbot then does an appropriate search (for instance: burger emoji --> search for burger places) and tweets the results back. The innovation's slogan is "Google now speaks emoji".
