User experience (UX) has been a buzzword for so long that its exact definition has become hard to nail down concretely; it’s still ubiquitous in the industry (and even beyond), but it often holds different meanings for different people. The general confusion around UX is further compounded by the exponential growth of the new digital frontier we live in. The roles and responsibilities of a UX practitioner have been rapidly transforming to keep pace with the ever-changing digital evolution.

So what is UX really? How has UX changed over the last 20 years? How does UX fit into a modern, product-centric organization today? How is UX practiced now and what does the future hold? Do UX designers really have cyborg brains and robotic appendages?

In this 45-minute webinar, Centric Digital’s Jean-Marcel Nicolai, Chief Product Officer and Jackson Young, VP of User Experience, will answer the above questions and share their insights about UX discipline’s past, present and future.

In this webinar we will explore what’s happening in the world of chat bots and what benefit they can be to your apps - and we’ll even look at how to create one yourself.

Given that 90% of users’ time on their smartphones are spent on apps, getting users to your app is becoming more important than ever. But what users like most about apps can be accomplished in a more intuitive way: David Hu, VP of Engineering at Dexter, notes that transactions in apps are essentially call/response transactions: why not streamline the experience with a bot instead? Furthermore, messaging apps have a larger Monthly Average User base than social networks, and the trend is just kicking off.

Distimo found the 91% of top companies have apps, but as Facebook’s bet on bots suggests that bots are poised to become a major player. Marketers have always had to figure out their clients’ message; now they just have to figure out how a bot will say it.

Dexter is a platform that enables people to build meaningful digital experiences by connecting services across the web. David Hu is Dexter's VP of Engineering and is currently leading efforts to build better tooling for chatbot creators and partnerships to allow builders to connect even more services on Dexter.
