And if you are a business owner or independent developer, you can easily use web control to plug your relevant Skype chat window into Bing to maximize exposure. Web Control works with both bots and real Skype accounts, meaning you can easily chat with a bot, business, or individual from any web-control enabled website without needing to sign into Skype. Embed – Bring Skype chat to any website:Another new feature, Skype Web Control, lets developers bring the Skype chat canvas onto any website with only two lines of code. Developers can build on their existing web investments and provide consumers unique ways of bringing experiences into their Skype conversations without leaving the app. Extend – You can now build your service directly into Skype: In the next few months we’ll be rolling out Skype Add-ins, a new feature to make it easier for developers to integrate their applications into 1:1 and group conversations. Developers can now use their creative talents to create engaging, entertainment, and educational assistance bots with rich and interactive media content built into the experience.

Bots can chat in both 1:1 and group conversations, and can use video and audio cards with quick actions to guide the conversation. Since then, the capabilities and intelligent APIs have evolved tremendously to enable a blend of natural language and rich GUI interactions. What’s New Evolve – Skype Bots are evolving: This time last year, we announced the first preview chat and calling bots available on Skype. This year at Microsoft Build 2017, we are thrilled to take things even further, evolving Skype as a platform for bots to a fully extensible and open platform for developers to integrate their technologies in order to build great conversational experiences. We’ve learned a lot in the past year, and have been taking feedback from our great bot partners, hackathons, and online communities to make Skype the best possible experience for both consumers and developers. Skype brings developers and consumers closer together at Build 2017 As written on At last year’s Microsoft Build conference, Satya Nadella announced Skype’s leap into the world of conversational computing, officially opening up the Skype platform with the debut of Skype chat bots-intelligent helpers you can add directly into your chats to make life more productive and fun.
