On Friday, I was chatting on Facebook Messenger with my wife about where we should grab dinner. Once we decided, I responded with a simple, informal “K I get uber.” Meaning, of course, that I would call an Uber and meet her there. What’s amazing in this mundanity is that Messenger was able to parse my words and figure out that I indeed wanted to order an Uber car, and so it automatically inserted a “Request a Ride” button right below my chat bubble.
