For years, tech enthusiasts, innovators and entrepreneurs have painted a bright future for chatbot technology. But the road to mass adoption hasn’t been without its speed bumps.

Facebook’s massive Messenger bot rollout a few years ago left a lot to be desired, and we’ve seen myriad me-too companies flood the market with less-than-stellar technology.
