1. Chatbot Bubble (~2003) 2. Chatbot Bubble (2016) 2006 - 2012 Best Timing Ever ^^ 

Messaging Platforms have opened up their APIs Everybody chats nowadays back then, only teenies on ICQ and Co. Why the fuck not… I kept telling people for years..  

There are 46 dead ends and at least 158 traps you can fall into… Everything that can speak must be intelligent From an evolutionary perspective, only humans could ever talk Bots as mainstream is new to people Since bots can talk, the expectations are sky high 

Decent UX with Chatbots is 100 times harder than with GUIs Simple Chatbots are simple to make A “smart” Chatbot takes a lot – the learning curve for developing is exponentially high Min. 80 % of all cases you are better off with an intuitive GUI 

So, NOPE – Chatbots won’t replace all Apps (who broad up that bullshit anyways?!), but they will replace all shitty apps that deal with cases in which humans prefer to communicate to humans… eventually.

Let’s share knowledge, let’s share Code Rather than “Is it me winning or is it you..?” Let’s WIN TOGETHER! I will make the first step… ...and share our Framework & Knowledge
