Satya Nadella’s vision for artificial intelligence has been a driving force in the creation of interactive APIs across Microsoft products. One such example is the development of bots forSkype. The communication application has embraced the technology as a means to enhance the way humans converse amongst themselves. Bots are useful tools that take advantage ofcards and natural language recognitionto reply with relevant and non-invasive responses.

Many Skype users have already gotten their chance to play with the bots through the convenientSummarize and often hilarious Murphy. According to theblog postreleased today, the team is rolling out some new collaborations, partnering up to provide more chat options for customers.

The bots are easily added onto your Skype directory by just clicking the “Add to Contacts” button at the link provided. They can be included in personal conversations, group conversations, or talk to one by yourself if you’re feeling the need for company and information.

More bots are expected to join the Skype contacts as a result of the very first Skype Bot Hackathon held earlier this summer. Some of the upcoming creations include bots to help choose dinner, find that song you’re dying to listen to, and search for just the right health insurance. These and many more will be coming as the Skype team continues to develop easier ways to communicate and interact with your contacts.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
