Samuel Adams, MBA

The document discusses chat bots and their potential future uses. It notes that apps have already created millions of jobs and bots may be the next step. Bots can perform automated tasks like answering questions or taking orders through messaging apps. Currently, people are using messaging apps more than social networks. The document outlines different types of bots including those that operate through rules-based programming and more advanced bots using machine learning that can understand language. It provides examples of potential bots and services to build bots. It concludes by recommending Cisco leverage chat bots for quick answers, analyzing Facebook messages, and developing future uses in tech support, sales, and communications between companies' bots.

Help me pick out and order groceries for the week.  News bot. Ask it to tell you when ever something interesting happens.  Life advice bot. I’ll tell it my problems and it helps me think of solutions.  Personal finance bot. It helps me manage my money better.  Scheduling bot. Get me a meeting with someone on the Messenger team at Facebook.  A bot that’s your friend. In China there is a bot called Xiaoice, built by Microsoft, that over 20 million people talk to.

How Chatbots Work There are two types of chatbots, one functions based on a set of rules, and the other more advanced version uses machine learning. Chatbot that functions based on rules: •This bot is very limited. It can only respond to very specific commands. If you say the wrong thing, it doesn’t know what you mean. •This bot is only as smart as it is programmed to be. Chatbot that functions using machine learning: •This bot has an artificial brain AKA artificial intelligence. You don’t have to be ridiculously specific when you are talking to it. It understands language, not just commands. •This bot continuously gets smarter as it learns from conversations it has with people.

Good Starting Point:  Quick Emergency Answers & Forward to appropriate human.  Facebook Chatbot – how best to leverage? Analyze the types of messages we are already receiving. Facebook has great chatbot literature available  Continue working with Mark Son-Bell & other teams to develop plan Future Goals:  What works better for Cisco: Working directly with Customers, or Bots chatting with other Bots? [Cisco Bot App]  Tech Support [Imagine a tech being able to have a FB chat with a bot while installing new tech].  Sales: Technology available at the push of a send button. Recommendation
