Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 offers Windows Workflow activities built on the UC Managed API that allow you to build self-service agents (bots) that use either text based IM or automated speech recognition. This session will walk you through how to build simple self-service bots using the UC Managed API Workflow activities and how to make it understand requests using speech patterns. In addition, we will show how to build a more sophisticated interactive voice response application that routes people to the right contacts, based on their spoken commands.
