For a machine learning junkie like me, there was lots to love at Build 2016! In this post, I'll fill you in on the machine learning announcements from Build. In summary, we announced previews of the Microsoft Bot Framework and the Microsoft Cognitive Services (formerly Project Oxford) for adding intelligence to your applications. The Microsoft Bot Framework allows you to build intelligent bots to interact with your users naturally in writing, using text/SMS, Skype, Slack, Office 365 mail, and other popular services. During the keynote, they showed an example Domino's Pizza bot which you could talk to (actually, type to) in natural language to order a pizza.

In this video Scott Hanselman delivers one of the best and personal demos, he'll show you how a combined solution using technologies such as IoT devices, cloud platforms, Machine Learning and Office API's can come together to solve even the most complex problems. The samples in the repo are used to present an end-to-end demo scenario based on a fictitious B2B and multitenant system, named "HealthClinic.biz"
