The day Skynet became self-aware; When AI takes over

By Timmy Kokke

Elevator Pitch

A lot of live coders like to build their own bots. It’s fun when viewers can run commands in your stream, but what if you can add more intelligence? Have your bot respond to questions from chat? Or even listen to what you are saying and respond to that? But be careful! Your bot might replace you!

Description

A lot of live coders like to build their own bots. It’s fun when viewers can run commands in your stream, but what if you can add more intelligence? Have your bot respond to questions from chat? Or even listen to what you are saying and respond to that? But be careful! Your bot might replace you!

In this talk we have a look at how you can use Azure Cognitive services to add more intelligence to you Twitch Chatbot (or any other application). We’re using Microsoft QnA Maker to have your bot respond to questions coming from chat. We also use Speech Recognition to for our bot to listen and use LUIS for some understanding of the spoken language.
