This document provides an overview of bots, including what they are, why they are popular now, examples of different types of bots, and how bots work. Some key points:
- Bots are computer programs that simulate conversation with humans over messaging platforms using artificial intelligence.
- Messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger are now more popular than social media, driving demand for bots on these channels.
- Different types of bots include those for content distribution, customer service, recommendations, transactions, and automating business processes.
- Bots work by taking in user input, parsing it using AI techniques like machine learning, and generating a response using text, media, APIs or manual rules. Design principles emphasize keeping

The Chatbots Are Coming: A Guide to Chatbots, AI and Conversational InterfacesTWG
2016 is the year of all things conversational. Chatbots, suddenly, are everywhere. Driven by the explosion in popularity of messaging apps like Kik, Slack and Facebook Messenger, chatbots are quickly becoming a core part of the software product mix.
So does your business need a chatbot? This deck will help you understand the massive opportunity for companies who are bold enough to start building chatbots of their own.
(Already au fait with chatbots and looking for a software team to help you with yours? Skip to slide 47 to see some of the chatbots we've built at TWG for our clients and ourselves.)

Abstract:
Software development stakeholders require a constellation of tools to support their communication, collaboration and coordination activities. But poor tool integration can lead to gaps in knowledge flow, or worse, to an overabundance of shared communication and information. The software development community is witnessing the rise of "social bots" to integrate diverse development and communication tools and to address the challenge of information overload. A bot is a conversational user interface that can automate rote or tedious tasks. It may fetch or share information, extract and analyze data, detect and monitor events and activities in communication and social media, connect developers with each other or with other tools, or it may provide feedback on individual and collaborative development tasks. Some bots are emerging as important team members, providing support for individual and team task management and for the automation of dev-ops and customer support. However, the rapid adoption of bots and the platforms that support them brings possible drawbacks. Designing effective platforms for bots is challenging and bots may introduce alienation among stakeholders or lead to other technical challenges. In this talk, I will discuss the emerging role of bots in software development and describe some of the advantages and challenges that may lie ahead.

[TechWorldSummit Stockholm 2019] Building Bots for Human with Conversational ...Tomomi Imura
Using voice commands has been pretty ubiquitous nowadays, as more mobile phone users use voice assistants like Siri and Cortana, as well as devices like Amazon Echo and Google Home have been invading our living rooms. You can interact with the intelligent assistant without leaving your couch. At the same time, chatbots have been insanely popular, and services like Slack and Facebook Messenger let you achieve multiple tasks without leaving the client- you can schedule a meeting, order some pizza, call a taxi, etc.
Historically in web development, we have been relying on various UI elements to interact with your users. Now with the new technologies, you can develop rich applications with natural user interactions with a minimal visual interface. This enables countless use cases for richer and more accessible web applications.
In this talk, Tomomi Imura will talk about the examples of the conversational interface, and what and how you can build with JavaScript in a browser using the Speech API, the open web standard, also with Node.js to work with the 3rd party platforms!
