I find myself thinking that it ought to be possible to create a
chat bot that takes advantage of the medium. So it would - initiate
interactions with the user rather than merely responding to
requests - be stateful and use the user's previous messages to
provide more/better functionality - use sophisticated rules and
access to large corpora - take advantage of signals from other
systems it knows the user uses e.g. finding out the user's location
from FireEagle - respond to changes in the outside world e.g.
telling you when the last train is 30 minutes away from your
station or that the local tube station has closed or indicating
breaking news that directly affects you or indicating that sunset
is 45 minutes away and given current traffic conditions if you
leave now you can get to this spot to take some sunset photos.

Location-aware bots? Both the cli and the serv could have a fuzzy location property..
