Facebook bots for Messenger Platform launched
Facebook has launched a beta version of its new Messenger Platform, which includes bots and its Send/Receive API.
Bots can provide services such as automated subscription content like weather and traffic updates, or customised communications like receipts, shipping notifications, and live automated messages.
The Messenger Send/Receive API will support the sending and receiving of text and images, and interactive rich bubbles containing calls-to-action.
Facebook also announced the availability of Wit.ai’s Bot Engine, which will let developers build complex bots that can interpret intent from natural language and learn over time.
The documentation to build bots for Messenger is now available, said Facebook.
