Okay enough suspense…time for the big reveal.
As long as there has been technology, there have been interfaces that enable us to control and communicate with that technology.
Think of the good old Command Shell as the OG Human-Computer Interface.
When Vinit and I founded Tars in 2016, we didn’t set out to be a ‘chatbot company’. We wanted to solve the interface problem between humans and computers.
Our bet was that the next stage in human-machine interfaces would be conversations, which naturally meant building a chatbot offering.
But as technology progresses with breakneck speed, there’s nothing to say that five years from now conversations will still be the dominant interface.
And while this may be an extinction level event for other chatbot companies, for us it will just be the beginning of a brand new chapter.
And with the secret spilled, now I’ll take your leave.
Happy New Year.🍾🥂🎉
