I sure hope that many more chat/customer-messaging-adjacent platforms begin to adopt matrix protocol support underneath! So many services exist on top of email/smtp protocols, and that has allowed for such creativity...It boggles my mind that the same has not been done for chat (or at least chat for customer support) - it seems like we have so many competing, proprietary chat protocols for these types of use-cases! As a customer, i don't want to have my interactins trapped only in the provider's platform...Just like email, i want to keep a record of my interactions with customer support...and leveraging a shared, universal set of protocols would help in that regard. I'm an admitted matrix fanboy, so that's my preference, but even xmpp or seomthing like that should universally be adopted!
