Expect chatbots to become commonplace. I suspect, in time, it'll work its way in and we may not even realise there's a chatbot on the other end of the customer service, especially for basic Q and A.

The Wand team’s expertise around semantic ontologies, services mapping, third-party developer integration and conversational interfaces make them a great fit to join the Bing engineering and platform team, especially with the work we’re doing in the area of intelligent agents and chat bots.
