Editor's Notes
- #12 Microsoft keeps pushing Skype, and now it’s making it a lot smarter. Basically, Skype will be able to talk to Cortana, which "brokers" a conversation with a third-party bot. Cortana is smarter than the bot (she understands context), but the bot is what does things like book a hotel room. During a Skype demo, a bot from Cups and Cakes asked for an address to complete a delivery. Cortana brokered the conversation and gave the user a map with updates on arrival time. When asked to add an appointment to a calendar, Cortana automatically engaged with a bot from the Weston hotel, filling in location and date, and allowed the user to book the hotel room with a few clicks. Finally, she suggested chatting with a friend who lived in the same area, and produced an automatic message in the mode of Google’s smart Inbox replies.
