Nick Desbarats had an epiphany a few years ago having realized something was broken with the way people make decisions on line. Whether youre trying to buy something, book a trip, or even donate to charity effective tools online just werent there. So he dove into research, read dozens of books on the topic, and realized what he come up with truly hadnt been done before  and he and his team at ChoiceBot built it. Watch his talk and find out what all the fuss is about. The implications are greater than you might think.
