Chatbots - predictions by Gartner
Consumers Favor Visual and Voice Search
By 2021, early adopter brands that redesign their websites to support visual and voice search will increase digital commerce revenue by 30%.
With visual and voice search rapidly increasing in popularity and on the way to being dominant mobile search modes, enterprises should experiment to identify the best ways to capitalize on this consumer shift. This search type enables marketers to gather more robust information about consumer habits, and early responders will see an increase in conversion rates, revenue, new customers and customer satisfaction.

Bots Take Over
By 2021, more than 50% of enterprises will spend more per annum on bots and chatbot creation than traditional mobile app development.
Individual apps are out. Bots are in. In the “post-app era,” chatbots will become the face of AI and bots will transform the way apps are built. Traditional apps, which are downloaded from a store to a mobile device, will become just one of many options for customers.

AI Creates More Jobs Than It Takes
In 2020, AI will become a positive net job motivator, creating 2.3M jobs while only eliminating 1.8M jobs.
AI will have a positive effect on jobs with AI-related jobs seeing steady growth starting in 2020. Up through 2020, all industries will see varying levels of time and effort savings with most industries experiencing no job loss. More than replacing humans entirely, AI will augment existing jobs and improve productivity.

How is DialogFlow can be used?
● Support existing application with language processing● Enhance search● Create a chatbot
○ Really just a decision tree○ Machine Learning to match inputs to given examples and extract entities○ Almost meets definition of an Intelligent Agent
■ appropriate actions for goals and circumstances■ is flexible■ can learn
Main role of Dialogflow-like systems
{ "query": "Book me a flight to Cairo", "intents": [ { "intent": "BookFlight", "score": 0.9887482 }, ], "entities": [ { "entity": "cairo", "type": "Location", "startIndex": 20, "endIndex": 24, "score": 0.956781447 } ]}
Book me a flight to Cairo

Role of Intents
● Main component of CUX application/chatbot● Represents a mapping between what a user says and what action should
be taken by your software.● Two approaches
○ Model your intents after what your user hopes to archive (i.e. setAlarmClock)○ Model your intents after what your agent hopes to receive (i.e. paymentMethod)

● Integrations● Fulfilments
Lab
● Come up with your own idea
● Create a bot with a few intents and a few entities
