Cloud4Good: Building an inclusive chat bot for athletes with disabilities

In February 2017, Microsoft Canada partnered with viaSport British Columbia to build an inclusive chat bot for athletes with disabilities. In this session, we demo how the Microsoft Bot Framework and Microsoft Cognitive Services APIs were used to build an bot to streamline access to highly relevant resources for people in the inclusive sporting community; improve the tone in conversations around disabilities by correcting offensive and outdated terminology; and provide viaSport with a richer way to understand and serve this community. #Cloud4Good Technologies showcased: Bot Framework, Language Understanding Intelligent Service (LUIS) API, Bing Web Search, Bing Spell Check
