For Microsoft, the future of technology involves the interaction between people and naturally machines. During the Build conference for enterprise developers who started on Wednesday, the CEO Satya Nadella spoke about his vision of the future.
"Human language is the new user interface. Robots are the new applications, "read one of the slideshow made by Nadella.
The great example of this future is the personal assistant Cortana. With it, Windows users can interact using voice with a desktop or smartphone. The tool has come for other operating systems (such as Android and iOS) and had his duties expanded by Microsoft developers.
In view of the company, this is something essential. Without the presence of Cortana on all devices that the user has (say it is a Windows computer, an Android phone and an iPad) it will not work as it should.
The Build served as a demonstration for the expansion of the features of itself Cortana and also robots working with artificial intelligence. The theory expounded by Nadella is that talks between humans and machines will be the platform of the future.
It is within this context that comes Microsoft's biggest ad in this edition of Build: Microsoft Bot Framework. The name can be a little scary. In a nutshell, the novelty is a set of tools for businesses to create their own robots.
Microsoft announced portant, a tool to help shape its future vision. It is the integration of Cortana with robot service companies. By tracking user communications, Cortana would be able to make suggestions to make life easier.
You will travel? The wizard can put you in touch with the robot of an airline or a large hotel chain. Demonstrations on the stage show a scenario in which you can interact with conversational-either by voice or text language.
The demonstration was done with a robot working in a pizza restaurants Domino's network app. By exchanging messages with the virtual attendant, you can order a pizza talking size and the desired flavor.
Microsoft showed that involves a system of machine learning (a complex from the viewpoint of development) simplified. Thus, human reviewers can help the robot and improve understanding of the applications and the language used.
"We want all developers are able to create robots as new applications for all businesses and services," said CEO Satya Nadella presentation.
The idea to spread this type of technology is enabling a wide range of additions. You could talk to these robots using apps like Skype, Slack or Telegram, for example.
Competition
Microsoft is not the first to present this proposal. Mark Zuckerberg has shown similar functions running on the Facebook messaging application.
The conference social network, F8, takes place in April. Microsoft stepped forward and used the Build to talk about it. The chances that Zuckerberg also show Facebook's proposal in this area in a few weeks is great. Facebook is expected to announce the expansion of its Virtual Assistant version running inside Messenger, M.
In general, the use of colloquial language and conversation between humans and robots has gained ground in technology. Slack communicator uses its robot to set up the account and give reminders to the user. The proposal has been included in several apps with different proposals.
