Bot / human hybrids are so obviously the future, not bots only, as the experience they provide is shit except for specific things which are easier done with menus.

- dexterdog 11y agoIt is improving but it is still way off in my experience. They said the same thing about voice control and when Apple got behind it I thought it must be solved, but I still hate using it even today.

- erikpukinskis 11y agoThey are best for interactions with a time component. A UI doesn't work for things that should happen in the future because you won't be in the app in the future. A chatbot can just chat you. Notifications require an app install and add a lot of engineering complexity.
- seibelj 11y agoReducing the complexity of app notifications is worth forcing your users to interact with you like a bash terminal? There is a reason we have modern UI widgets, windows, buttons, etc.
- erikpukinskis 11y agoThere is no generic answer to your question. That's no how design works. Sometimes the tradeoff is worth it sometimes it's not. It depends on your goal. In an app that is 100% notifications I could imagine it being a quite good tradeoff.
