Technology has been making a lot of advances in the past couple of years. One recent advance that I am sure many people will be happy about, especially food-lovers, is an app called Slack. For unfamiliar users, Slack is an app that companies can use for real-time messaging and chat. Recently, Taco Bell has create their own private beta testing of a new Slack bot, called Tacobot, at companies including Sav Studios, Thought Catalog, Giphy, Fullscreen, and Foodbeast. Using artificial intelligence, Slack users can order select items off the Taco Bell menu without ever having to leave their desks. How great would it be to not have to leave your desk to go get lunch everyday?!
The Tacobot is the company’s latest way of making the food more accessible to their customers. Taco Bell is big on having their food tailored for social consumption with friends, which is why an app like Slack is perfect for their company to kickstart into something larger. Taco Bell is just one of the many fast food chains to launch a “no clicks” ordering app, and the company plans a wider roll out of the app in the coming months.
I'm usually against apps that make our lives a little too easy, but I'd be all for having tacos without leaving my room on a regular occasion.
