Sure is a nice way to stand out in the crowd when looking for a job, but certainly not the most practical way to present information. Dunno if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm still waiting for a reply in fb messenger.

At least for now bots are pretty much just a gimmick and "just because we can" thing, but then again, most of the cool stuff we have today began from that. I definitely do not see much value added in receiving information this way, such as getting weather updates or headlines. Bots will have to get a lot smarter and autonomous/proactive to be actually helpful. I do not want to chat with machine, I want it to do stuff for me with minimal interaction. Let me know when I can pay for utilities through messenger :).

Platforms are sexy and everyone wants one, I get it. But the real value will come from getting other businesses/services on board. That's dirty work that does not scale well, so yeah, let's just build a platform instead and hope "they" come :)
