For the record, I'm still going to talk about Answer Engine Optimization because there ARE answer engines out there. They use search engines (as I've been saying all along) but the first step in #AEO is to be indexed and ranking well enough in the search engines that the answer engines are using, such that they'll use your content.

As Google and others also prepare chatbots, Microsoft is testing a new chatbot interface for Bing that can sometimes provide a way to sidestep news websites’ paywalls, providing glossy conversational answers that draw on media content.
