WordPress + TARS = 😁
The new season of WestWorld released last Sunday and as with every other HBO show, it sent the TARS tech team into a state of frenzy. Of course, this too involved a lot of cowboy costumes and a harebrained idea to pivot the company away from the Chatbot Builder Tool. So here is what happened.…
