(Edited 2017-01-07: The newer version of Chatbot is at here).
At the end of March 2016, Microsoft announced the Bot Framework, a platform that helps you to quickly build the high quality bots for your business.
In April, after a long weekend happy hacking, I have built a chatbot prototype who can help you to find DNV GL service document.
You can head to https://dnvgl-rules-bot.azurewebsites.net/ to have a chat with it, or via skype and slack.
Here is a live preview:
Some facts about it:
- It understands human language (English), thanks to the integrated Microsoft Language Understanding Intelligent Service. It can be extended to support such as Chinese or Spanish.
- The business user (such as a Rules and Standard expert) can easily train this bot via the Machine Learning interface, to provide a better intelligence insight. I have only trained it with less than 50 sample inputs. But the more we talk, the more smart it can be.
- It is hosted in Azure, the Microsoft cloud service.
- Currently it supports 3 channels: Web Chat, Skype and Slack.
- All data is from the publicly available information of DNV GL service document.
