Oswald’s architecture can be fully deployed on
your premises, without interaction with cloud
servers.
ON PREMISE
Oswald supports multiple languages like
English, Dutch, French, German and more…
MULTILANGUAGE SUPPORT
Comparable functionalites like IBMWatson
Conversation, Google Dialogflow, Microsoft
Luis…
CHATBOT PLATFORM
Oswald can easily be integrated into other
systems, like chat interfaces and datasources.
INTEGRATION
Oswald has a beautiful web-based GUI, but
technical people can also code in Oswald.
BUILT FOR BUSINESS AND IT
Oswald keeps track of the context of the
conversation and uses this in its choiceof
responses.
CONTEXT
Oswald is a software platform to develop, train, test and deploy chatbots. Oswald
has many features and functionalities like advanced machine learning, keyword
extraction, spell correction, context management and easy integrations with front-
and backend systems. Oswald is a platform built for both business and IT.
WHAT IS OSWALD
Approach	:	Create awareness
- Introductionof	technology through use case
- Collaborate with Craftworkz toprevent long	
learning cycles
Train the AI of Oswald using intents and entities. No need to
understand complex algorithms, just give it examples and the
AI will do its job.
I N T E N T S & E N T I T I E S
Approach	:	Trainability by non	tech team
Design conversation flows in the visual scenario builder. No
more complex interfaces, writing code or reading
documentation.
V I S U A L S C E N A R I O B U I L D E R
Did something go wrong in the conversation? No problem! Let
one of yourcustomer agents take over. When the customer is
helped, thebot can continue the conversation.
H U M A N TA K E O V E R
Approach	:	Humans team	up	with Bot
Instead of writing code to interpret the world, let’s write code that can learn to interpret
the world
AI	enabled hyperscalable customer	onboarding
- Identify areas where new	technology allows for
reduction in	implementation/integration effort

Vision
From traditional OCR
• Microblink developed cutting-edge mobile OCR technology
• Highly optimised for offline processing on mobile devices
• High accuracy on use-specific documents (standard bills, IDs)
To DeepOCR
• Automatic multiple feature extraction
• Scalable for complex images and documents
• High accuracy 90%+
Challenges in Machine
Learning
• Data hungry approach and complex data annotation
High volume of data is needed
for machine learning!
Annotated data is valuable
data
• Better product
• Higher accuracy
• Scalable on complex problems
• More users
• More data
Approach	:	Cocreate the Learning	&	training	phase
• Friendly user	fase	:	
• Friendly users	assemble training	data	through first	
version of	the app	:	photos of	watermeter,	entry	of	
correct	data
• With and without	flash
• With and without	camera	light
• Manual	entry	of	correct	data
• Target	:	1000	photos
• Beta user	fase	:
• Betausers further train	the AI	engine	in	the app
• Cocreatieserves	a	communication towardsmost	active
users
• Target	:	10.000	scans
Approach:	Trainingdata collection
• Launch	:
