A bot is a software application that uses scripts and the internet to carry out automated tasks. One of the main purposes for the creation of bots was to make the lives of humans simpler. They are able to successfully complete tasks faster and more efficiently than a human can. Bots were created on messaging platforms such as the InterBot Column. This enables a bot to send messages to internet servers to make actions applicable to what one is trying to do.
Types of Bots
There are many different types of bots that have been created. Some of the main ones are Travel Bots, Emergency Bots, Interbots and Socialbots used for social business. Travel Bots are the bots that control flight or hotel websites. These bots have people enter information about when their travel plans are and then it does its best to find coordinating flights. A travel bot also helps to find a hotel to stay at while you are on vacation or travelling.
Emergency bots are used for emergency calls and security. They are beginning to use these emergency bots in 911 call centers and even some other call centers such as suicide prevention. Emergency bots are also contributory to border security. These bots are being used in the form of drones to watch the borders of the United States. They can help with the safety of public figures when travelling, preventing human trafficking or trafficking of any kind and safely allowing military personnel out of the country and into other countries. Interbots are bots that talk to one another. These bots make it possible for businesses to communicate with anyone more efficiently. And last but not least, there are socialbots. Socialbots serve as automated customer service representatives. They allow businesses to save time by using these bots as a resource. Socialbots also boost company efficiency. The timely manner it takes for a bot to respond versus a human is a lot shorter. This being said, bots lead to customer satisfaction which reflects highly on the business.
What will the future hold for Bots?
As bots are continually being developed, in the future they will become even greater tools of power. For example, bots are being used for self-driving cars. These automated bots that are functioning by Artificial Intelligence works with systems to function self-driven cars. In May they began trials to test the data of the project in the UK. They are acquiring data to find better ways to develop the product. Who knows, maybe they will create another high tech gadget while running tests. Although it will take nearly 13 years for these developments to become official, they have begun and no matter how long it takes they will be successful at some point. Bots are the future, and the future is looking bright.
