A recent study by computer technology corporation Oracle showed that 8 in 10 companies are planning to adopt chatbots by 2020, and Chatbots Magazine claimed 2018 to be the ‘year of the chatbot’. With billions of eyeballs to compete over within these messaging interfaces, and NLP technologies having advanced over the last two years, potentially the chatbot phenomenon will come to fruition in 2018.
So how do brands get chatbots right? Can chatbots truly relay the nuances of human conversations? Can they be broad enough, yet detailed enough, to provide an experience that surpasses traditional interfaces and becomes a customer’s first port of call?

In a technology-driven world, it’s common to hear the term user experience, or UX. It is most often associated with products and platforms with a focus on ensuring end users have a positive and effective experience interacting with the solution. To be clear, user experience is more than the user interface, or UI (the visuals). It is the skeleton the UI is built on.

One of the most important digital marketing tools for any company is a clean, well-designed website. This is especially true for e-commerce businesses: Your website is where business happens, so it's imperative to offer an excellent user experience.
With a few simple user interface tweaks, you can turn your brand's site into a well-oiled online store with maximum conversions. We asked a panel of Forbes Communications Council members for their best UI recommendations for e-commerce businesses. Here's what they had to say.

Next generation User Interfaces (UI) will be tactile and responsive to non-verbal communication in which remote users will be able to enjoy haptic experiences through real-time interactive systems. Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) enabled UI will be important to enable a substantially more rich User Experience (UX) for many industry verticals that leverage these immersive technologies. The research sees these technologies being used for a myriad of different consumer-facing UX enhanced marketing, sales, and product/service usage scenarios. We also AR, MR, and VR used for a variety of enterprise purpose including internal operations, managing supply chains, and supporting customers.

We are living in an era where everything is changing rapidly. Our current tools will be outnumbered by many other excellent ones in the next few decades. We do not have precise sensors or clever voice assistants yet, but they certainly will be in our lives in the future. We are sensing many things are changing, but we don’t know the manners yet. Some people will invent new disruptive ways of communication and interaction. New interfaces will be born out of these new interactions.
Some people among us define the future by crossing the lines. They can see from totally different angles and match the right interfaces with the right controls. Some options are already at the table: voice, sensors, or maybe mind. We don’t know the exact solutions yet, but designers should be prepared for the future to think about how to design interfaces for tomorrow’s human-computer interaction.

For almost a decade, we’ve talked about wanting to modernize enterprise software user interfaces (UI) to match consumer software, but we’ve gone about it the wrong way. The modernization of UI was proposed as a solution to meet the increased expectations that enterprise software should be as simple to use and nice to navigate as the applications we use at home from any device. But investing in software UI that merely looks beautiful is a waste of time and resources.

Since digitization, prospective customers of a company or brand have better access to social media and online content and therefore good opinions from existing customers can sway their opinions and in turn affect sales. Today, customer experience has become imperative to scale business growth in a competitive economy. As of now, companies are heavily investing in technologies such as conversational chatbot, use of virtual reality in retail, machine learning to process customer feedback to tailor their strategies.
