Slighlty OT: Did run many chatsbots in various fields. Chatbots won't be the next big thing, not at all. Chats are a specific channel for more specific use cases, none of them created any killer app. Maybe we need more time but chatbots got hyped for too long without any significant traction. Most are web shops/ agencies that build mediocre chatbots for brands nobody is using. Not bashing chatbots just wondering why this topic gets upvoted again and again.

> just wondering why this topic gets upvoted again and again Because most chatbots are crap (for real world applications) because chatting is a hard problem but there's a great potential?

Amazon Echo and Google Home are chatbots, but with a voice interface. They seem relatively well accepted. Your thoughts?

  Well accepted != next big thing

  I don't think they are - I think they are narrow assistants - order things, search for things, turn things on and off. They aren't there to have a discussion about your brothers emotional response to the Aphex Twin.
