What the Bot Revolution Could Mean for Online Learning - Daily bits, Huffington Post

Online learning service with a passion for personal development and daily learning. Many people are betting on bots becoming the new apps. My co-founder and I are two of those people. Before I tell you more about why that is, let’s take a paragraph to explain what bots are. The bots I’m referring to are the so-called chat-bots. They’re “smart” programs that you can have a conversation with, and get help from, via the messaging app of your choice. This could be a bot that sends out a survey to your team and then sends you a recap (check out the bot How.dy for Slack). Or it could be a bot serving you with the best personalized news via Facebook Messenger (check out CNN’s bot for Facebook). http://www.huffingtonpost.com/daily-bits-of/what-the-bot-revolution-c_b_10564554.html
