You’ve heard the buzz around cognitive technologies. You may have even experimented with them on your own, but you’re not sure how they fit in your app development toolbox. Sound familiar?
Don’t let another year pass without unlocking the true potential in your unstructured text, speech, images, and more. In this webinar, James Governor of Redmonk and Marcus Boone of Watson will share their predictions for what will be hot (and not) when it comes to application development in 2017. From massive data growth to conversational commerce and beyond, learn why cognitive app development is poised to accelerate in 2017 and how Watson cognitive APIs can help you successfully build your own breakthrough cognitive app.
This one is pretty obvious. We’re not all going to learn advanced stats and fuzzy/AI algorithms. But we can string together APIs to create amazing user experiences.

Headless apps become a thing. No more designing just for the screen. A new set of patterns for UX/ designers will need to step up
No longer just for the alpha geeks, everyone has an assistant to hand, or in the kitchen
Programming bots as a mainstream activity – see hubot, cog etc
Towards humane computer interfaces – computers are getting increasingly good at recognizing emotions, both in terms of facial recognition and sentiment analysis. Developers will start building apps that read our emotions and respond accordingly. And hopefully, they’ll nice.
Experiences that start as creepy will start to seem normal. What happens when the user asks the bot out on an a data. Happens to the Amy scheduling bot already on a regular basis.
The bots will start fighting each other. This actually happens – Wikipedia, bota arguing and repeatedly “fixing” articles. How do you deal with this?
