Building Bots Using Webhooks - DZone IoT

It is really fascinating to see how chat bots can automate contextual conversational interactions. According to Casey Newton from The Verge "Bots are here, they're learning – and in 2016, they might eat the web", which seems to be very realistic because there are thousands of bots out there and more are being developed that increase productivity, simplify the user experience, or are just for plain entertainment. The majority of the bots as of today are simple commands to automate daily tasks. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered bots are the future -- you can build natural languages as services to communicate directly with customers to order food for example, and even pay for items entirely through it. AI stuff is bubbling with the explosive growth of social messaging, there is a real opportunity here to wire-up and manifest the bot to ride the bot wave.
