Munnabhai helps Microsoft launch Bollywood �Bots�


Buoyed by the success of the Munnabhai Bot on MSN India�s Windows Live Messenger, which allows online users to talk to Munnabhai, answer his riddles and win movie tickets and audio CDs, Microsoft is all set to introduce more Bots in the next three to six months time in India.

Chat Bots or Bots like the Munnabhai Bot, are computer programmes that are designed to scan for keywords in a conversation and in turn intelligently provide responses from a local database.

Head of Programming, MSN India and Windows Live, Krishna Prasad told moneycontrol that educational bots would soon be launched in India. He says, �In the next three to six months, you will witness the launch of many bots that will provide users with everything from flight information to cricket scores. This is an international product and right now we are customizing them for India.�

He adds, �It depends on how much time you take to train and populate the questions for the Bot. When Munnabhai came out, we had only ten questions and answers in the database, but over time as we added more questions to make the Bot smarter. It takes about a month to train the Bot. Many Bollywood related Bots would be launched soon. We feel that Bots will play a key role in providing a number of backend services.�

Always be well informed in your job...or you might miss a great opportunity.

A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road, he stopped and offered her a lift, which she accepted. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a lovely leg. The priest had a look and nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun looked at him and immediately said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest was flustered and apologized profusely. He forced himself to remove his hand. Changing gear, he
let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" Once again the priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun got out gave him a meaningful glance and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a bible and looked up Psalm 129. It Said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."


Moral of the story: Always be well informed in your job, or you might miss a great opportunity.

Always let your boss have the first say.

A sales rep, an administration clerk and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of
smoke. The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of you just one." "Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone. In astonishment, "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an Endless supply of pina coladas and the love of my life." Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The
manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
