E.D.D.I is a platform for creating and maintaining chatbots. It has been intensively developed over six years and will be made open source on October 8, 2016. Contributions are welcomed, if you want to get in touch, contact details are on the last slide.
Speaker: Gregor Jarisch
Event: botmeetup #4
Location: Vienna
2. Product Engineer @ Styria Digital Lab
Inventing new Products – e.g. http://iwanna.help
Former Startup-Up Founder
Spoken Language System @ INiTS
Developed a Framework for Virtual Assistants
(= Chatbots)
In love with
awesome food & basketball & innovative concepts
4. Messaging Platforms have opened up their APIs
Everybody chats nowadays
back then, only teenies on ICQ and Co.
Why the fuck not… I kept telling people for years..
5. There are 46 dead ends and at least 158 traps you
can fall into…
Everything that can speak must be intelligent
From an evolutionary perspective,
only humans could ever talk
Bots as mainstream is new to people
Since bots can talk, the expectations are sky high
6. Decent UX with Chatbots is 100 times harder than with GUIs
Simple Chatbots are simple to make
A “smart” Chatbot takes a lot – the learning curve for
developing is exponentially high
Min. 80 % of all cases you are better off with an intuitive GUI
7. So, NOPE –
Chatbots won’t replace all Apps
(who broad up that bullshit anyways?!),
but they will replace all shitty apps that deal with
cases in which humans prefer to communicate to
humans… eventually.

9. For once, Austria is not the last country to deal with
new trends
In fact, it looks like we are amongst the first pioneers
If we all work separately, none of us has (a long term)
chance
BUT – if we work together, we could drive this future
10. Let’s share knowledge, let’s share Code
Rather than “Is it me winning or is it you..?”
Let’s WIN TOGETHER!
I will make the first step…
...and share our Framework & Knowledge
11.
12. developed with the focus on
use in enterprise applications
the ease of connecting it to other resources (such as
databases or other Services)
The most outstanding features are:
it is highly extensible (plugins),
very flexible in dialog structure and
allows sharing of knowledge between bots
14. Love the idea of changing the world
together..?
Wanna contribute or
simple get in touch..?
