What’s the predictive way forward for Chatbots?

Advances in AI development will impact Chatbots

2017 has gone and that we haven’t found any Chatbot which will pass the Turing test yet. But there are some exciting advances in AI development. The AI developed by Elon Musk, went certain competing against the world’s best players in Dota2 and won with ease. the foremost important news would be the new paper published by Google DeepMind regarding AlphaGo Zero. it had been created without using data from human games and have become stronger than any previous version. the discharge of AlphaGo Zero could potentially change how we'll develop AI software within the future. It means data would subsided critical, and therefore the key would be finding use cases where you'll get a high volume of iterations, therefore the AI system could iterate fast enough to enhance itself. For AI Chatbot Development, this is often a big advantage thanks to the huge level of conversations a chatbot could perform with users. Though we still need to find out the way to validate the answers. I predict in 2018 we'll see more advances in AI which will improve significantly the AI Conversational Chatbots‎

Voice Experiences Going Mainstream

2017 has been a superb year for Voice Interfaces thanks to the trouble from Big Corps like Amazon and Google to pushing forward the Smart Speakers market. consistent with official data Amazon has already sold quite 20M Echo devices and with quite 20K skills available on Alexa Store. Google, on the opposite hand, is trying to form its assistant available on all Android devices like Smartphones, Androidwear, Smart tv, Smart speaker, etc.
I think in 2018 this trend will continue; we'd see some early success from a couple of voice bots.

Social Messenger Applications will aggressively drive Chatbot Marketing

Messaging is one among the few things that folks do quite social networking” Mark Zuckerberg. But there are only a couple of platforms that folks are messaging on. Credence Research recently predicted enterprises would transmit two trillion messages a year by 2017 to make a market worth $78m by 2022.

Slack, world’s fastest growing business tool is reportedly investing $80 million in slack-bot startups. Chatbots allow the pliability to use an app without actually installing it on your phone.

Reach of Deep Learning and AI will increase across all domains from 2018.

It could run many algorithms in real time and using analytics devise a technique to convert every prospect individually.

Cost of Chatbots will get cheaper because the adoption of it increases across domains

Facebook’s decision to let third-party applications build chatbots in their messenger platform has drastically lowered the worth . Companies like Herbie.ai, give access to development of individual chatbots to suit the customer need, which are simple to make , structured, easy to use without much programming fed into them but through predetermined menu options, they let the customer, browse, interact, or make a sale — such platforms will eventually bring down the value for creating a bot.
