Interesting point but I would not have thought of asking that question. Perhaps you can email Vince and get an answer.
Thanks for your comment.

Thanks I enjoyed this, but I would be interested in hearing more on the use of nudges and if nudge theory plays a role here.
The question is, can platforms integrating with chatbots provide end to end encryption? If not, then how is this communication channel secure? Chatbots have the potential to transform current online business. It is critical for organizations to avoid the frenzy surrounding this new technology. They should take a conservative, deliberate approach to chatbot development and deployment. We at Engati http://s.engati.com/142 have started the journey.
