The roadmap of vragen.ai: from answers to control over conversations

Lisette Vredenburg

AI is evolving at a breakneck pace, and for many organizations, keeping up with this speed is a challenge. A few years ago, the first chatbots were still being cautiously tested. Today, we see that the role of AI is shifting significantly. Not just in what the technology can do, but especially in what users expect. While users were previously satisfied with a simple answer, they now expect a system to understand what they want to achieve and help them with it directly. This shift demands more than just better AI models. It requires a new way of looking at digital interaction.

MCP, widgets and agents in vragen.ai

From answer to action: agents, (MCP) integrations, and widgets in practice

Joris Meijer

For years, websites have been designed to organize information clearly. Pages, menus, and search functions helped visitors find their way. With the rise of AI, interaction is shifting to language: visitors articulate their intentions instead of navigating. This feels like a significant advancement. However, understanding that intention is just the beginning.
