High Powered Web Bots

There are a wide array of high powered bots running on four main distribution channels. Apple is running Siri, IBM created Watson, Amazon fields Alexa, and Microsoft is hosting Cortana. Bots require input from users. How the bots respond depends upon the complexity of the cognitive services they have been programmed with. Chat bots scan phrases or words the bot is programmed to recognize. Some smarter bots are able to learn from interactions with users. Chatbots can be seen as one of the most important ways we will use our phones in the future. Chatbots are sometimes called digital assistants.
