Impact #1	The implementation of Dialogflow’s conversational technology in Domino’s ordering process surpassed original expectations. The pizza bot’s performance has been impressive, but Domino’s views innovation as a continual process. They recognize the importance of improving and fine-tuning the conversational experience to meet their customers’ needs. As they observe people interacting with the experience differently, they are able to anticipate and make the necessary adjustments, thereby staying on top of and ahead of customers’ expectations.
