That’s already what’s going on when Alexa/Siri offer standardized SDKs for app publishers to plug their API into the assistants. The problem is kind of chicken and egg however where many companies don’t want to bother creating these connections, thus these assistants are pretty useless, and people don’t use them much.

This however may just be a matter of time until the incentives align and all of this becomes possible. Eventually, it is my conviction that the web will be conversational first - and typing/clicking will be a secondary mode of action for more advanced queries.
