facebookmessenger2

Social network Facebook just went ballistic over bots. It has introduced bots for the Messenger Platform. As we know, bots can provide anything from automated subscription Content like weather & traffic updates, to customized communications like receipts, shipping notifications, & ‘live’ automated messages all by interacting directly with the people who want to get them.

According to FB, it had also built powerful discovery tools such as plugins for Websites, usernames & Messenger Codes, & a prominent search surface in Messenger. Additionally, Facebook News Feed ads will enable the opening of threads on Messenger & a new customer matching feature will allow messages that are usually sent through SMS to be sent on Messenger.
FB also announced the availability of Wit.ai’s Bot Engine. It will enable developers to build more complex bots that can interpret intent from natural language, and continuously learn to get better over time.
