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..
