We’re entering a promising new era of computing, where advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence are creating a resurgence of interest in voice interfaces and natural language processing.
It’s a new way to talk with your users.
For real.
Thus, we need to think on the voice user interface from the start and see how we can do a better job.
In this post, we will go over some of the most common challenges and how to overcome them.
The past 3 days were packed with developers, sessions, announcements and good weather at Shoreline.
Here are some of the things that I really liked (and marked myself to try later):
You can learn why actions on google is great option for developers and what you can do with it in your own hardware.
The Google Assistant’s mission is to help users get things done in their world.
This video below will explain how to plug into the Google Assistant services ecosystem. It covers everything from understanding the business use case and high level user interface design to implementation and growing usage. Continue reading
It’s really easy and powerful to work with API.AI as a tool for creating your bots. Not only you are getting a powerful machine learning algorithm to understand your users, you get in the same time an easy way to integrate with many services (e.g. Google Home, Twitter, Facebook messenger, Slack, Telegram, Skype and many more).
What is API.AI?
API.AI is a natural language understanding platform that makes it easy for developers to design and integrate intelligent and sophisticated conversational user interfaces into mobile apps, web applications, devices, and bots.
If you never worked with API.AI – You can check it out in this post.
What is Slack?
I just copied from this site, because it’s short and to the point:
Where work* happens.
*Whatever work means for you, Slack brings all the pieces and people you need together so you can actually get things done.
If you are a developer that worked with IRC in the past – Slack is a (much) ‘nicer’ version of it. You get the productivity of a mobile chat tool with many options for integrations and automations.
Now, that we got the tools defined, let’s see how to integrate API.AI and Slack in nine elegant ‘dance movements’. Continue reading
This Google I/O (less than two weeks!) there are many great sessions that will help you create amazing assistant apps and actions on google. The Google Assistant’s mission is to help users get things done in their world and there is a lot of interesting content on that during the 2017 conference.
Here is a list of all the talks that devoted to the assistant: Continue reading
Today, we are adding an important feature to Google Home. The ability to add users, so they could get their own: schedule, email, plans etc’.
You do it in 3 easy steps:
In the past few months, I heard someone smart saying that “the future is artificial intelligence first”.
Artificial intelligence, is making computers “smart” so they can think on their own and be even more helpful for us. It’s clear that Google, has been investing heavily in the areas of:
These days we can see it all come together in the Google Assistant. It allows you to have a conversation with Google and be more productive. In this post, we will see how it’s all working by building a new Action for Google home. In the same time, we will have a nice bot that in the future we will integrate with many apps. Cool?
