Editor's Notes
- Imagine a platform where language is the new UI layer. When we talk about conversations as a platform, there are three parts: -There are people talking to people. The new Skype Translator is a great example of this. -There is presence, or being able to enhance your conversations by the ability to be present and interact remotely. - And then there are personal assistants and bots.
- This new platform includes a personal digital assistant who knows you, knows about your world and is always with you across all your devices, helping you with your everyday tasks. And bots, with the capability to take the power of human conversations, and apply it to everything. We imagine a rich ecosystem of conversations, ones that include: people to people, people to your personal digital assistant, people to bots, and even personal digital assistants calling on bots on your behalf. That's the world that you're going to get to see in the years to come.
- Think of bots as new applications that you converse with. Instead of looking through multiple apps, or pages and pages of websites, you can call on any application as a bot within this conversational canvas. Bots are the new ‘apps,’ and digital assistants are meta apps, or like the new browsers that act as the windows into a world of smart bots. In this way, intelligence is infused into all of your interactions.
- Bot Framework is a Microsoft-operated service and an open source SDK.
- First, you have to build your bot. Your bot lives in the cloud and you host it yourself. You write it just like another web service component, using Node.js or C#, like an ASP.NET Web API component. The Microsoft Bot Builder SDK is Open Source, so you’ll see more languages and web stacks get supported over time. Your bot will have its own logic. [CLICK] but you’ll also need a conversation logic, suing dialogs to model a conversation. The Bot Builder SDK gives you facilities for this, and there are many types of dialogs included, from simple yes/no questions, to full Natural Language Understanding – or LUIS, one of the APIs provided in Microsoft Cognitive Services.
- The Bot Connector is hosted and operated by Microsoft. Think of it as the central router between your bots and the many channels available to communicate with your bots.
