3scale's Nicolas presented "APIs and the Bot Revolution" at the APIDays Nordic event on May 18. He covered the importance of making bots smart by using APIs. APIs for bots need specific API design considerations and some different thinking about DX. Bots and APIs have the potential to introduce a paradigm shift about how we interact with technology.
