Tom Burton (speaker) argues that conversational AI is nearing a "killer app" moment—particularly for wholesale distribution and manufacturing—where interactive, interruptible, multi-language conversational interfaces will become indispensable. He describes current limitations (e.g., having to wait for responses) and contrasts them with more natural, interruptible conversational systems that can translate between languages in real time.

Right now. You can't really. You can. You can give it a verbal prompt, but then you have to sit there and wait, and you can't really interrupt it or stop it. And it comes. It's a little clunky. Yep. Here you can actually have a conversation. And they were showing that. And even be able to translate automatically to have a conversation from one language and have it automatically conversationally translate to another. You know, Kevin, I have told. I've been sitting here, you know, harping to you and others that the killer app, especially in our industry and wholesale distribution and manufacturing is coming. A lot of times, AI, I don't think AI has been taken seriously because the killer app hasn't been there that people could see and go, oh, my God, I can't live without that. I think we're getting very close to starting to be able to see that these killer apps are going to be available and coming out that are going to cause people to go, holy crap, I can't live without this.
