Artifical intelligence. It’s what everyone’s talking about these days. But unless you’re a crazy nerd who’s working on an AI project, the odds are you haven’t found any way to use it yet. But what about chatbots?

Chatbots are becoming more and more popular these days. In some countries such as China they’re heavily dependant on them for making regular purchases. So how are they going to affect you and your ecommerce empire? And should you already be using them?
