Bots are the hot new development trend. Bots are interactive solutions, based on artificial intelligence frameworks, that fit an ever-growing number of user cases, from customer service to marketing, sales, and IT. With today’s cloud-based cognitive services, all you need to get starting building your own bots is your existing Node.js skills.

The bots you create will be able to conduct natural and realistic conversations by responding to text or voice commands.
