Shaping the Future with Bots

The apps are becoming easier to use and help with the application of Artificial Intelligence(AI). A bot is an AI powered person which has the ability to chat with you over a platform like Facebook Messenger. There are lot many advancements to today’s bots, unlike the chatbots from the older times, which could reply only in a less coherent fashion. We also see the use of less sophisticated Twitter bots, that respond to the tweets, often in a hilarious manner.

Today, we see the advent of more and more bots, with advanced features. There are a whole gamut of work that is possible through these advanced bots. The bots are programmed in such a way that they understand the question and answers them, accordingly. The searching experience becomes lot more easier with a bot, rather than hopping from one chatbot to another, while asking for a job done.

The market for mobile app development changes very rapidly. The bots act as replacement of the simple apps, in fact they replace multiple apps and because they are cloud based, they do not obstruct the phone memory. Bots are simply automated programs which are capable of operating with or without apps. A chatbot development company aims at developing a bot around a single function, that is chat- a simulated conversation. Machine learning is used by the chatbots. Furthermore, the bot has the ability to automatically update and also provides an instantaneous access to your smartphone. The usage of Natural Language Processing Tools , a part of Artificial Intelligence and thus have the ability to mimic natural human conversation.
