- 31. Implications • Google mightloose its’ Gatekeeper function and new Gatekeepers will emerge • The power is shifting back to consumers. No more display ads, “recommended reading”, landing pages, etc. • The heavy lifting will be done on the service/server side. The magic happens behind the scenes. No more “Onboarding”, “Interface Paradigms”, etc. • Brands/businesses will REALLY have to have a conversation with their user/customers
- 32. Select Opportunities along thestack • Disrupting existing B2C businesses with Conversational interfaces: Shopping, Booking, etc. • Specialised and universally available AI modules: Scheduling, Translation, Booking, Semantic Analysis, NLP • Organising Microwork: Recruiting, Managing, etc • New funnels, new metrics, new advertising: New SaaS opportunities • Messaging platform play (unlikely)
