Summary | Chatbots are taking over the world. On Facebook Messenger for instance, you can ask a shopping concierge bot what you want to buy. The bot will then tailor options to your price range. This is what the future looks like: robot customer service agents. They will kill the customer service industry that we know. However, those bots will lack a human touch.
