Akibot | Artificial + Collective Intellegence
Akibot is the first semantic actionable micro-blogging platform for the enterprise. Or, in other slightly less confusing words: Akibot is a tool that not only allows real-time group collaboration and awareness through short messages, but it also understands those messages and, if applicable, takes action.
Um.
OK, what I think Akibot is is effectively a Twitter clone that has a degree of Artificial Intelligence and thus can learn and help. So, as you tweet away, about what ever it is a collective tweets about, Akibot consumes these messages which enables it to understand and help the group by processing, storing and taking action if needed.
What Akibot presents for ‘collectives’ is pretty smart. A Twitter that makes sense of tweets and therefore makes the content of those tweets more valuable/useful by simply storing, aggregating and then retrieving/delivering relevant info based on your auto-defined profile.
How it works (according to Akibot):
Collective intelligence: Akibot allows peers to share their status, what they’re working on, information, links, announcements, problems, questions and everything else related to the company through short, instant messages (up to 140 characters)
Artificial intelligence: Akibot interprets those messages and if they have a meaning that prompt to action, Akibot will store and act accordingly. One example: if you post a message that says “I have a meeting next Wednesday morning at Nations Repo regarding the new project”, besides letting everybody know about this meeting, Akibot will store your appointment and will send you a reminder a few hours before (to your cell phone or email). See more examples in the features page.
Artificial + Collective intelligence: If you post a question that Akibot can answer, Akibot will, but if not, your peers will! Akibot also learns from all the users: if Akibot doesn’t understand something, he will ask and learn from the answer, so he will not ask that again.
So there it is.
Obviously it’s early doors for this kind of semantic web technology, but that doesn’t mean it’s stupid. The role the internet/technology will play in our lives will increasingly be centered around automated assistance. Technologies like Akibot are just another step in that direction and really worth looking at as we try and come to terms with the speed of change.
