Is it Time to Switch to Conversational UI?
By Michael Eydman, Senior Consultant at ABME Corporation

There is a new UI paradigm on the rise. Commonly used graphical interfaces have limitations. Fixed screen real estate and resolution constraints present a constant challenge for creating intuitive and easily navigable interfaces on commonly used devices like phones and tablets. With recent improvements in speech recognition and text synthesis technologies, conversational user interfaces have become a viable option. Conversational UI uses natural language processing to expose much more complex and feature-rich interfaces, which would be difficult to accomplish through traditional graphical UI. It can also be distributed through more channels, which includes traditional on-site chatbots, as well as those available on instant messaging platforms and home virtual assistants, like Amazon’s Alexa. In this presentation, I would like to cover a few use cases, where cross-channel conversational UI can help drive more conversions for a retail enterprise. I will also cover more prominent frameworks and platforms which can be used to create chatbots used in Conversational UI.
