From Chatbots to AI Experiences: The Next Evolution of the Website
From Chatbots to AI Experiences: The Next Evolution of the Website
Nicole Rogers
Your website isn’t dead, but it's evolving.
Instead of static pages and navigation, visitors are beginning to interact with websites conversationally. The next generation of digital experiences will combine AI assistants, real-time personalization, and dynamic page assembly to guide users through complete journeys rather than just deliver information.
Prerequisite
This session is meant for marketers, developers, designers, and agencies.
Target Audience
Marketers, Agencies, Digital Strategists, CTOs
Outline
Websites are entering a new phase. Visitors no longer just browse pages. They expect to interact with websites conversationally and receive immediate responses.
Early implementations of AI on websites focused primarily on chatbots or AI-powered search. While useful, these approaches only scratch the surface of what AI can enable in modern digital experiences.
We’ll explore how digital assistants on websites are evolving into an experience layer capable of assembling personalized journeys.
Instead of just answering questions, be able to guide visitors through actions, surface relevant content, trigger forms or widgets, and even reshape the surrounding page experience based on what a user asks.
We’ll discuss how this model works alongside Drupal and how AI can orchestrate multiple components of a digital experience, from conversational interfaces to dynamic UI elements and backend integrations.
Key topics include:
• The evolution from chatbots and AI search to AI-driven web experiences
• How the conversation can drive real-time personalization on websites
• Forms, widgets, CTAs, and guided journeys within an assistant experience
• How digital assistants interact with CMS content, APIs, and enterprise systems
