How chatbots will change the face of campus technology<\/strong> <\/a>— from by Jami Morshed<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

In the first few months of the new semester hubbub, what if there was an assistant at the beck and call of students to help them navigate the college process? While the campus faculty and staff are likely too busy during those first few days to answer all the questions on students and parent\u2019s minds, chatbots \u2013 akin to Siri, Cortana, and Alexa \u2013 could provide the ideal digital assistant to make not only these first few days run smoothly, but also the student\u2019s entire time on campus.
\n…
\nFrom applying to college, to arriving on campus, declaring a major, signing up courses and eventually graduation, there are a multitude of ways bots can help to streamline the process, maybe as soon as next semester.
\n…
\nFor example, during the application process, a bot could send push notifications to students to remind them about upcoming deadlines, missing documents, or improperly submitted data, and would be available 24\/7 to answer student\u2019s questions<\/strong> such as \u201cAm I missing any documents for my application?<\/em>\u201d or \u201cWhat\u2019s the deadline for submitting the application fee<\/em>?\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Ultimate Guide to Chatbots: Why they\u2019re disrupting UX and best practices for building<\/strong><\/a> — from medium.muz by Joe Toscano<\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The incredible potential of chatbots lies in the ability to individually<\/em> and contextually<\/em> communicate one-to-many.<\/strong><\/span>
\n…
\nRight now contextually communicating with bots isn\u2019t something that\u2019s reasonable to ask across the board but there are a few that are doing it well, and I believe this type of interaction will be the standard in the future.<\/p>\n

While chatbots are still in their infancy in terms of creative potential, it\u2019s still a very exciting time for creatives trying to understand the best way to use this new technology and how to build the best bot possible.

Google Assistant bot ecosystem will open to all developers by end of 2016<\/strong> <\/a>— from venturebeat.com by Khari Johnson<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Developers and the rest of the world will soon be able to make bots that interact with Google Assistant and new Google devices made public, the company said today in a special presentation in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Google Assistant will be our next thriving open ecosystem,\u201d said Scott Huffman, lead engineer of Google Assistant.<\/p>\n

The creation of bots for Google Assistant will be possible through Actions on Google, which is due out by early December. A software development kit (SDK) that brings Google Assistant into a range of device not made by Google is due out next year.<\/p>\n

Chat bots: How talking to your apps became the next big thing<\/strong><\/a> — from zdnet.com by Steve Ranger
\nApps that can mimic human conversations are one of the hottest technologies around right now. Here’s why.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Bots are applications that are designed to respond to conversational language. The aim is to create services — whether that’s the ability to order a pizza or to enter a meeting in a calendar — where the dialogue with the app is as natural and apparently unscripted as an interaction you might have with a human.<\/p>\n

Chat bots are like narrow versions of digital assistants like Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa or Google Assistant, designed to perform specific tasks. Interest in bots has rocketed recently and developers are racing to incorporate them into services built on popular messaging apps and websites to create a form of virtual customer services.<\/p>\n
