Bots offer a gateway between human language and API actions. The future (which VC's are very excited about) is one where the human language commands evolve into something non-syntax specific.

What do you mean by "non-syntax specific"?

- loose syntax, as in human language, which we can parse although it is loose (e.g. I went to the shop, I went to shop, I went to de shop - all are parseable by humans to get the same meaning [1])

OR

- something else?

[1] except that "I went to shop" could also mean "I went shopping" - but ignore that for now, it's just not a good an example.

So like a Google search?
