Ep 88 - The Near Future Of Conversational Technology

Ep 88 - The Near Future Of Conversational Technology

Author: Cary Weston September 30, 2025 Duration: 11:58

 Episode Summary

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston shares his vision for the future of "conversational technology"—a shift from static, click-based interfaces to dynamic, two-way conversations with the tools we use every day. From Netflix to online shopping to travel planning, Cary walks through everyday frustrations and shows how tools like ChatGPT offer the perfect practice ground for what's coming next. The episode is an eye-opener for anyone feeling overwhelmed or left behind by AI and makes a compelling case that you're not behind—you're right on time.

 

3 Key Takeaways

  • The future is conversational: Apps will soon start engaging in two-way conversations—asking about your mood, preferences, or concerns before offering recommendations. Think Netflix that checks in before suggesting a movie.

  • ChatGPT is your practice space: Talking to ChatGPT is great training for this future. Treat it like your "amazing intern"—not a tech tool. The more you practice, the better you'll be at using these future tools.

  • This isn't a tech thing—it's a human thing: Just like websites moved from being an IT task to a marketing must-have, AI belongs to all of us. Whether you're shopping, planning, or writing, tools like ChatGPT help you think clearer and decide better.
