Microsoft inches closer to releasing its AI-powered Scheduler bot ZDNet

In 2016, Microsoft announced an AI-powered bot called Calendar.help. Since then, the bot, which uses Cortana to help users schedule meetings, entered private preview. It looks like Microsoft is about ready to make that chatbot -- renamed Scheduler -- generally available. URL now redirects to calendar.help. And there are a couple of AI-powered scheduling sessions slated for Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft's IT-pro-focused conference happening the first week of November.
