Much to everyone’s surprise, Oracle has announced a platform to help build & run chatbots. The announcement was made by the company’s Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison at the Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, USA.
According to a report in VentureBeat, the chatbots will also work with apps like Facebook Messenger, Slack, among others. The report added that the new Oracle tool would not require users to write in Java, PHP so on. The process would be a mere drag & drop on a graphical interface.
In a demo, Oracle showed a Messenger chatbot built using the platform running on an iPhone. “He exchanged text-based messages with the bot, which went by the name Oracle Mobile Procurement, to place an order for a new set of business cards,” said the report.
