"At home, I'd be lost without chatbots."
The Japanese love robots. They think of them as human - and not simply a programmed device. I find chatbots fascinating.

The Japanese love robots. They think of them as human - and not simply a programmed device. I find chatbots fascinating.
I am currently developing one at Swisscom for Skype for Business: I find it really exciting to be creating a type of cognitive being. At home, I'd be lost without chatbots - especially when communicating with my Japanese wife Kie and her family. We use Line messaging - the Asian WhatsApp - to translate English and Japanese for us in real time. I met my wife one and a half years ago during my language placement over there. Afterwards, we Facetimed one another every day, she in Fukuoka, me in Matzendorf; sometimes even sending each other to sleep. In Summer, Kie moved over here to live with me. We are finally together.
