Ilya: We are constantly working on the developer experience and making it fast and easy to create and deploy advanced conversational scenarios. We are also always working to improve the AI that powers the Natural Language Understanding engine.

Ilya:我们一直在致力于开发人员的体验,并使其快速,轻松地创建和部署高级对话方案。 我们还一直在努力改进为自然语言理解引擎提供动力的AI。

Elio: That sounds rather promising! Let’s talk a bit more about the Internet of Things. What benefits does Api.ai believe that AI will bring into the IoT space?

Elio:听起来很有希望! 让我们再谈一些物联网。 Api.ai相信AI将带入物联网领域有什么好处?

Ilya: AI in general will help devices to better understand people and predict their needs, intents and actions. Conversational AI will bring a universal interface for communicating with (and across) devices. There will no longer be a need to learn how to work with devices; people can simply express what they want to happen in natural language. Devices will share context and user preferences so that there is an immediate baseline of understanding.

Ilya:人工智能通常会帮助设备更好地了解人们并预测他们的需求,意图和行动。 对话式AI将带来一个通用的接口,用于与设备(以及跨设备)进行通信。 不再需要学习如何使用设备。 人们可以简单地用自然语言表达他们想要发生的事情。 设备将共享上下文和用户首选项,以便立即获得理解的基线。

Elio: What prerequisites or knowledge does one need to have to start setting up smart devices with your platform?

Elio:开始使用平台设置智能设备需要具备哪些先决条件或知识?

Ilya: After creating an agent in Api.ai, you’ll need some programming skills to connect it to a device. We offer a variety of SDKs for the most popular platforms to simplify this as much as possible.

Ilya:在Api.ai中创建代理后,您将需要一些编程技能才能将其连接到设备。 我们为最流行的平台提供了各种SDK,以尽可能简化此操作。

Elio: How does Api.ai support integrations with Smart Home devices like Amazon Echo, Siri and Google Home?

Elio:Api.ai如何支持与Amazon Echo,Siri和Google Home等智能家居设备的集成?

Ilya: Google Home has not launched yet, and Siri is closed for the most part. For Amazon Echo, there is an agent-export functionality in Api.ai.

Ilya: Google Home尚未启动,Siri大部分时间都已关闭。 对于Amazon Echo,Api.ai中具有代理导出功能。

Elio: If people enjoy your service, but want to switch to another service (or use multiple services) at some point, how would the transition work out?

Elio:如果人们喜欢您的服务,但又想在某个时候切换到另一种服务(或使用多种服务),过渡将如何进行?

Ilya: People can export the intent definitions they created in Api.ai, but it would be hard to achieve the same level of natural language understanding quality. So, data is not limited to just our platform. Developers can leverage data to other services if that’s what they want to do.

Ilya:人们可以导出他们在Api.ai中创建的意图定义,但是要达到相同水平的自然语言理解质量很难。 因此,数据不仅限于我们的平台。 如果开发人员想要这样做,则可以将数据用于其他服务。

Elio: The IoT and cloud-based services are heavily reliant on a strong web connection; what measures does Api.ai take for its users in case servers are down?

Elio:物联网和基于云的服务在很大程度上依赖于强大的Web连接。 如果服务器停机,Api.ai会为用户采取什么措施?

Ilya: Api.ai is hosted with AWS and other reliable (five nines) cloud service providers. We also provide an offline or hybrid implementation. Basically, you can export the agent and run it on the device locally. This functionality is offered for large-scale customers with special needs (like privacy or connectivity concerns). You can also make it work in a hybrid mode where it would run in connected mode when possible, but will automatically switch to local mode if needed. An example of this would be a connected car where internet service might not be available in all geographical locations.

Ilya: Api.ai由AWS和其他可靠的(五个九)云服务提供商托管。 我们还提供离线或混合实施。 基本上,您可以导出代理并在本地设备上运行它。 此功能是为有特殊需求(例如隐私或连接问题)的大规模客户提供的。 您还可以使其在混合模式下工作,在这种情况下,它将尽可能在连接模式下运行,但在需要时会自动切换到本地模式。 这样的一个例子是联网汽车,其中可能无法在所有地理位置都提供互联网服务。

Elio: IoT and robotics could lead to a whole new level of home automation. Are there many use cases of Api.ai being used for robotics in the home? Is it ready for wider adoption and how do you see Api.ai shaping that path?

艾里奥(Elio):物联网和机器人技术可以将家庭自动化提升到一个全新的水平。 Api.ai在家庭中是否有很多用例用于机器人技术? 准备好被更广泛的采用了吗?您如何看待Api.ai塑造这条道路?

Ilya: We have a handful of real world use cases where our natural language processing platform is being used in robotics for the home. However, we cannot cite these customers just yet. We are seeing an increasing number of projects created by developers with this use case, though. The more developers we have in this field, the better Api.ai understands users in this area. Api.ai is the only real development platform for such use cases. We are looking forward to being the driver of this movement.

Ilya:我们在现实世界中有少数用例,其中我们的自然语言处理平台被用于家庭机器人。 但是,我们暂时无法引用这些客户。 但是,我们看到使用这种用例的开发人员创建的项目越来越多。 我们在该领域拥有的开发人员越多,Api.ai就越了解该领域的用户。 Api.ai是此类用例的唯一真正的开发平台。 我们期待成为这一运动的推动者。

Elio: I am sure we can expect many innovative things in the near future! Thanks so much for answering our questions Ilya, I am sure we will be hearing a lot about Api.ai in the IoT scene!

Elio:我相信我们可以在不久的将来期待许多创新的事物! 非常感谢您回答我们的问题Ilya,我相信我们会在IoT现场听到很多有关Api.ai的信息!
