I agree.
But beating an equivalent Google query should be the goal IMO. Otherwise what's the point? Unfortunately, I don't think business specific chatbots are able to; Google just gets many orders of magnitude more users (even when narrowed down to Norwegian Bank X), so their "dumber" algorithms work just as well.
So I reiterate my question: can you give me one example query where this chatbot outperforms Google search?
The same goes for site-specific search engines, especially MSFTs Bing (neé Fast) that universities etc. seem to love spending money on; I've always found it to be worse than plain Google search with a "site:univ.edu" suffix. So you can definitely sell this tech to non-tech-savvy companies/institutions and make money, but users won't like it.
