Bot creation platform API.AI announced last week its launch of one-click integrations, which enable developers to more easily convert bots for use on chat platforms like Facebook Messenger, Slack, and Kik. With this capability, bots on different platforms can "share knowledge" with each other via machine learning, thereby cutting down on developer costs and time spent on building and maintaining these bots.
