We are all going to be out of work sometime, very soon. Well, that’s not quite true. However, our work is set to dramatically change as the fourth industrial revolution marches onwards.
A few months ago we added a chatbot to the Wales Outdoors website and we have been blown away by its intelligent and polite responses to questions asked by browsers and potential clients of the Wales Outdoors site. We use a website widget for our AI and other ‘sparkly’ additions to our website and we cannot fault the developers, they are reactive, happy to personalise code and always there to assist, not that assistance is generally required. Use this link to get a free widget, but we recommend going for their 92 Widget Basic plan at $15 a month. Very much well worth the money. Anyways… Here are just two stunning (because I’ve put very little effort into training the AI) interactions:
