Title: Smartbots Enterprise AI Chatbots Skill Library

- What is the Skill?
- To define and understand skills, we encourage you
to think about these characters from some of the
most loved Hollywood movies - Jarvis the virtual assistant of Iron man
- TARS from Interstellar
- BB-8 from Star Wars
- Imagine a world where these characters have been
developed into working models and made available
in the market. Not too hard to fathom the
consequences of such a happening! We can
perceive the following possibilities, being a
bunch of techno-passionate people - They sell like hotcakes
- We can easily expect at least ten million
advanced bookings from people desperate to get
their hands on them - If the robot versions are sold from a store,
people will queue up in higher numbers than when
they do at every iPhone release (sorry Apple
Inc!) - Lets tie a rope to the fore-legs of our brain
horses, as we are running too fast into the
future. For now, we are in the stage of building
the stairs in this process, to ensure our future
generations use the elevator.

- The term Stair we mentioned above is a skill.
- For an enterprise, it could be related to their
Customer Support Agent - SEO Analyst BI Assistant Sales Assistant
- In the healthcare space, it could be relevant to
the Patient engagement agent (a bot that can
schedule/cancel appointments with doctors, inform
about a doctors availability and list their
profiles)Patient caring agent (assists timely
medicine intake in patients according to
prescription)Diagnostic agent (while technology
shouldnt replace a doctors diagnosis, it can
augment professionals in helping patients make
sense of symptoms and identify possible
concerns) - For a recruiting agency, the skill could mean a
Candidate-shortlisting agent interview
scheduling agent virtual assistant to handle
candidate queries - For a marketing agency, the skill could be An
automatic email sender events schedule generator
customer shortlisting/segmenting agent (based on
their engagement with marketing newsletters and
emails, customers can be shortlisted) - These are one a few examples and industries where
AI has profound and critical use cases. What
happens if we package these skills together in a
library and call it the present days JARVIS?
Each example mentioned above is a skill that is
used by several industries currently- and
deserves to be automated for the better. - Skills from a technical standpoint
- What is a skill from a technical perspective?
- A piece of code?
- Merely a package that your application inherits?
- A voluminous application that requires a large
server and a huge amount of data that
manipulates the data based on factors that aid in
decision-making?

You might have guessed. Of course, a skill is a
piece of code that uses several platform
packages and manipulates user data. It is also a
bit more than that- that bit measures the
difference between a simplistic web app or
software and skill. A skill can exhibit its
intelligence on a use case or action. A typical
Alexa-skill JSON would look like this
"interactionModel" "languageModel"
"invocationName" "Invocation Name", "intents"
"name" "AMAZON.FallbackIntent", "samples"
, "name" "AMAZON.CancelIntent",
"samples" , "name" "AMAZON.HelpIntent",

"synonyms" "Synonym One", "Synonym Two"
This JSON is a sample of an Alexa
skill. A majority of the skill-building platforms
use the same sort of JSON objects. A set of
algorithms is designed and applied to convert the
plain JSON object into a powerful skill that
would accomplish a task, making the life of an
end-user (a developer who uses a bot-building
platform to develop a skill) relatively
easier. A skill needs to have more
conversational flow patterns, which can assist
any halts, pauses, and continuations in any
conversation with appropriate context handling
and natural language processing. Can a bot have
more than one skill? What are the criteria to
include two skills within a bot? Who doesnt
want to extend the functionality of an enterprise
chatbot? We want to, and we, of course, can.
Heres an instance of a use case where two skills
are used in a single app/bot.

- Consider a travel application that performs the
following tasks - Books travel tickets
- Books hotels at a selected destination
- From a business perspective, these define
different areas, but from a customers
perspective, these tasks appear to be part of a
single package. To fulfill these requirements,
the bot should contain multiple skills, which
can be achieved by implementing what we explain
in the next section- Mother bots. - Before we do that, here is an example of this
skill JSON - "interactionModel" "languageModel"
"invocationName" "My Guide", "intents"
"name" "AMAZON.FallbackIntent", "samples"
, "name" "AMAZON.CancelIntent", "samples"

Mother Bots Mother bots integrate multiple bots
to work within a single app/application/enterprise
. Typically, mother bots use a brute-force
approach and map conversations to the skill with
the highest confidence score.

- Mother bots work in a fashion to send each user
input to all skills associated with it. The
skills revert to the input with responses and
respective confidence scores. The Mother bot
chooses the intent with the highest confidence
score and gives an output to the user. - Future Enhancements
- What do you expect the future of this Chatbots -
Skill Library to be? We think it is the
possibility of a JARVIS the
super-intelligent robot with extreme
capabilities. However, we shouldnt forget that
the first step to infusing that intelligence in
Jarvis would be the development of the skill
which we are currently undertaking. - A large majority of enterprises would use the
skill library just as we use the Play Store or
the App Store today. These skills can be
customized to make them compatible with an
individual or an enterprise, as per the need. - We can justifiably hope for a time when these
skills are developed at a fast pace and deployed
for enterprises and individuals to leverage. - Personal assistant (a bot that can assist you in
daily activities) - Sales adviser (a skill that can analyze market
trends and suggest opportunities) - Recruiter
- Customer support agent (that can address customer
queries 24/7) - Marketing analyzer (that takes into account your
experience and suggests you the best business or
prospects for expanding a business) - Customer relationship agent (a skill that sends
personalized emails and messages to customers) - SEO analyst
