Embrace the next big evolution on the web: conversational interfaces.

Embrace the next big evolution on the web: conversational interfaces.

Conversational UX is any user interface that mimics chatting with a real human. When designed for the right use case and presented in the right context, conversational interfaces are very powerful and effective. They solve real UI/UX challenges by making the web more immersive, more human and more approachable.

In this session, I’ll give you a tour through the rapidly growing world of the conversational web and provide you with the know-how to start implementing conversational UX in your JavaScript apps and websites today.

You will gain experience with the tools and paradigms at hand and learn how and when to use conversational interfaces over traditional interfaces (e.g. GUI’s and CLI’s). Through our journey, you will learn what anthropomorphism entails, how to implement natural language processing in JavaScript and learn more about machine learning in general.

Short version

Conversational UX helps making the web more human and more approachable. I'll give you a tour around the world of the conversational web and provide you with practical knowledge to start the implementation today. You will learn about natural language processing, machine learning and much more.

Yes that one little change goes from looking like it's not aimed at me, to being something I could learn from.

Are chatbots a sub-set of conversational interfaces? If so, you may want to use that as an example to help anchor the concept in the minds of readers (and, hopefully, attendees).
