Why Chatbots Are Now Critical for Business + Apple’s Siri Becomes a Chatbot

Jan 25, 2026 4:02 pm

Back in May 2017, I published an article titled How Bots for Business are Revolutionizing Digital Marketing for Small Businesses” on Chatbots Life — where I predicted the rise of chatbots for business long before most marketers were paying attention. In that piece, I explained how conversational bots could automate customer engagement, generate insights, and transform how companies interact with customers online — especially in industries like automotive, sales, and service.


Fast forward to today — and chatbots aren’t just a prediction anymore… they’re becoming core technology at the heart of major platforms.


🚀 Apple Is Turning Siri Into a Full AI Chatbot


According to recent reports, Apple is planning to significantly overhaul Siri by transforming it into a built-in artificial intelligence chatbot — code-named “Campos.” This new chatbot will be deeply integrated into iPhones, iPads, and Macs, allowing users to interact via both voice and text and offering conversational abilities that go far beyond traditional voice commands.


What this means:

  • Apple is betting on chatbot-style interactions as the future of user interfaces.
  • Chatbots are now moving from novel tools into core platform technology.
  • Every business should be thinking about how AI and conversational experiences can boost revenue and engagement.
