  1. History/Bot-note: Clippy's hungarian notation/code was TFC. (reminded today of this post).

  7. 5/ Need customer service Bots to need to be able to jump to human quickly (automatically?) when frustration or dead-end detected.

  8. 4/ Best Bots for a while will be relatively narrow domain focused, based on pre-existing context known about me. eg "Alexa order shampoo".

  9. 3/ Bot platforms more than hooks in messaging to type command. Need services for identity, payment, profile ➕ data which differ by platform.

  10. 2/ Bots different from Clippy/command line if data is used to train learning models (NN) for responses — w/o learning->lame NL command line.

  11. 1/ 5 Botservations (Bot Observations) for this AM. New tech coming together is 🔑; time is right —super exciting. 👀📎
