Why Microsoft AI Platform for Developers Easy to implement Flexible Tested, powerful and award winning Multi-channel Cortana The Cognitive Services APIs are easy to implement because they are based on simple REST calls. Our new QnA Maker Service is a free, easy-touse service that trains AI to respond to users questions in a more natural an conversational way using semistructured data like the those found in website FAQs. We ve got a breadth of intelligence and knowledge APIs so developers will be able to find what intelligence feature they need; and importantly, they all work on whatever language, framework, or platform developers choose. So, devs can integrated into their apps ios, Android, Windows using their own tools they know and love (such as python or node.js, etc.). Developers can trust the quality and expertise build into each API by experts in their field from Microsoft s Research organization, Bing, and Azure machine learning and these capabilities are used across many Microsoft first party products such as Cortana, Bing and Skype. Your users talk in many places; your bot should too. The Bot Connector will have your bot talking in full fidelity on the most popular conversation experiences without coding (e.g. Skype, FB Messenger, Office 365 Mail, SMS, Kik, Slack, Telegram, GroupMe, ). You can also bring the conversation to your app or website using our Direct Line customizable Web Chat control or roll with your own. Cortana connects users to your services, across platforms and devices. By registering your bots, services, mobile apps, and websites as Cortana skills, over 145 million active monthly users will be connected to these capabilities.
