Sysadmin chatbots: We have the technology

Storage Blockhead Chatbots are flashing up in our future view as something that could improve an admin's lot. Instead of using a GUI with nested and drill-down screen forms to do their job, they'll have a new form of Command Line Interface, only this will be a Chat Line Interface to a chatbot. Array vendor Tintri is showing how this could be done with TintriBot (Tbot), actually using Slack, a realtime collaboration app. Think of it crudely as an updated Lotus Notes. It contains Slackbot, which will answer text queries.
