Why would you go inside a chat box and try to force fit applications and show the applications in weird ways and then finally link out to the actual application instead of just putting a chat box inside the application which is the accepted way.

If I had a human assistant, I'd ask them to book my flight. The chat box is your window to your AI assistant. Maybe this new assistant hasn't earned your trust yet, but it makes sense that trust-aside, you'd ask your assistant to do whatever they could do for you.

Right. But my assistant wouldn't show me a new screen and ask me to do things in it :)

It’s an assistant to the assistant

Years ago (in the age of flip phones, think pre 2001) I worked at a bank.

When we launched our mobile banking platform, one of the PM's there swore up and down that we should be piloting banking by text message. He was fabulously wrong at the time and in the end got a lot of things right.

There are a lot of applications that could fit in a text box provided that your not doing the work rather that your delegating it.
