In recent years, we have seen a rise in the use of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies are changing the way we interact with the world around us. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the mobile experience. AR and AI are used to create more immersive and personal experiences for mobile users. In this blog post, we will explore how these technologies are being used to enhance the mobile experience.

The Conversational AI space has made great strides in the underlying technologies, use cases, and adoption. We are moving past the days of basic question and answer experiences and simple decision trees. Chatbots, voice assistants, and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions have advanced to incorporate sophisticated Natural Language Understanding (NLU) that not only understands a user's Intent, but enables the chatbot to respond appropriately in a way that satisfies the user. Conversational AI solutions are used across a wide variety of use cases and industries -- including customer service, appointment booking, triaging medical symptoms, signing up for an account, and more. The demand for conversational AI continues to grow as users prefer to communicate over digital channels. Businesses are developing chatbots, voice assistant, and IVR experiences to increase customer satisfaction, reduce operational costs, and achieve business goals.

With over 2 billion active Android devices and over 1 billion active iOS users, the mobile market provides the most engaging and profitable market to build and sell new digital solutions. There are less than 4 million unique applications for each of these operating systems, with most of them performing the same or related functions. However, the arrival of cloud-based and device-based artificial intelligence tools provides a unique opportunity to recreate the mobile experience for existing apps, as well as build entirely new mobile apps that can only be possible through the use of AI-powered tools. There are a few challenges with harnessing this opportunity of mobile apps with AI capabilities, some of which include knowing what problems to solve, what applications to build, and how to tailor these applications so that existing app users can have improved mobile experiences. Below, I'll be sharing 5 exceptional mobile apps ideas made possible by integrating AI into the mobile experience.
