The sudden rise of the headless AI

"Hey Siri, how's the weather today?" "OK Google, remind me to pay the power bill." "Alexa, tell me a joke!" Bots are eating the world. Whether you are an enterprising app developer building the essential software to bring a virtual Taylor Swift into your Slack chats, or just lonely and in need of a dumb, annoying virtual friend to message you on Facebook, we seem to be clear on one thing: Many experiences, apps, sites, and products are going to be replaced with bots. It's official: "Bot for X" is the new "Uber for X." And sure, bots are cool.
