The future is so bright....


We have been testing out some great applications for our Dialog Engine recently. Once you start to think about how this type of technology can be applied the uses are many.

However there is a big difference between what you think a technology might be used for and how it actually ends up gaining traction and becoming common place.

The promise of Artificial Intelligence has been around for a good 50 years now but it is still not main stream in anyway shape or form. We are starting to see some applications that are 'behind the curtains' but we are still in the early days of general acceptance of AI interaction.

One of the reasons behind this is simply the utility of dialog. For the most part conversations with chatbots have been stilted, narrow and cannot veer off into the types of conversations that we generally have in real life. At Virsona we are building an engine that will handle this broader type of conversation and hopefully provide more utility and a better experience for people using our engine as part of an application.

We are going to start rolling out applications next month and are looking forward to seeing how people will react to them. Hopefully we will find our killer app. quickly or maybe we just have to let our customers guide us in the right direction.
