BOTServer

y opinion this integration of bots INSIDE groups and channels (humans), open new services scenarios, not games! Instead service apps useful for people, in business/application scenarios A real revolution: integration of robots and humans services. I'm serious about it and my twitter microblog: www.twitter.com/solyarisoftware is about that. I wote some ideas about in my draft/raough doc here: https://github.com/solyaris/BOTServer/blob/master/wiki/servi... > I must admit, that the current generation of bots is quite dumb and we need to move towards natural languages and learning. I fully agree! > I also don't think that bots are viable "app platforms". Bots should either be interfaces to bigger services or stand alone smart assistants. Yes, but: I feel nowadays visual-paradigma/web-interface based/mobile apps are in many cases poor in suppluing real services. I'm basically perplex regarding nowadays glorification of (mobile) web interface as "THE way" (to communicate/to get services/make business). I feel instead that next generation(Telegram) bots could be instead a real revolution in man-machine interfaces for services apps: the (Telegram) chat as prevalent way to communicate for users (see very young people habits...). Now as a text-based chat, in a near future, I see phone-calls + video-calls as front-end (along with text-based chats). What I mean, and I think I agree with you, is that a possible very interesting world is build-up "intelligent chatbots" machine-learning enabled, astep forward nowadays dumb bots that responds to basic /commands or enabled by some finite state machine dialogs (my project now). What do you think ? respect giorgio
