More and more companies rely on the
implementation of conversational agents (CAs) to
automate certain of their processes. While CAs' initial
development often mirrors an innovative process, their
successive implementation can be made more efficient
by drawing on other CAs' prior developments. We rely
on data from a case study where a series of chatbots
(which represent one type of CAs) was implemented.
Routine theoretical concepts help us better understand
how CAs may dynamically evolve and how their
implementation can be accelerated. We found that a)
the reuse of emerging or intentionally constructed
means may allow accelerating the implementation of
multiple successive CAs, b) means can be reused to
extend or transfer functionality (through mutation or
inheritance); and c) changes in the conversational
context determine if means can be reused directly or
not (through reproduction or recreation).
