What sort of AI companies will be acquired by large machine learning “brains” like Watson?

In addition to a number of Health informatics companies, IBM Watson has acquired at least two AI companies already, alchemyapi.com and cognea.com (aka mycybertwin.com).  Alchemy API was actually a very clever addition for the modular IBM Watson API ecosystem on Bluemix.  Cognea was basically a highend, corporate chatbot company for CRM, which presumably forms the basis for the new Dialog API on Bluemix.  (See also my recent Quora answer to: Can you train a content corpus in Bluemix?)
