Overview

This Skill gives the Digital Person the ability to conversationally schedule a Microsoft Outlook meeting. The Skill is triggered by saying Create/Setup/Schedule (an event)/(a meeting). This skill uses the Microsoft Office 365 Graph API to find people in an organization and get their calendar information.

In order to create an event, the user must provide a date, time, and title. In response to the user's keywords representing dates and times, a markdown graphic is displayed, showing the event on their calendar. After creating the event, the user may invite other Microsoft users or groups to attend the event. By default, a 30 mins meeting is set up which can then be edited from Microsoft outlook if needed.

This skill is:

• Built and owned by Soul Machines Ltd.

• Only supported in English.

• Powered by the Microsoft Graph API

Limitations

• The current version of the skill cannot edit or delete events. If you would like to edit or delete an event, you must log on to Microsoft Outlook and make changes there.

• The current version also does not support adding multiple users in the same sentence. If you would like to add multiple users quickly, make sure they are all a part of a Microsoft Outlook Group and you can add the group to an event.

• The skill does not warn if the event occurs on a weekend or holiday.

Skill Demo

Google Forms Survey Skill as Base Conversation

The Google Forms Survey Skill is available as an intent matching skill or can also be used as a base conversation, this will start the survey immediately after the Welcome message.

Creating a Google Form

The Google form created must be in a certain format for the Digital Person to be able to read out the questions coherently and also to accept the answers from the users hence we support only 4 types of questions.

Supported form questions:

• Short Answer - When you expect a short answer to the question. Within this question type the additional Description and Response Validation options are not supported:

• Paragraph - When you expect a longer answer for the question.

• Multiple Choice - When you want to give the user limited options to choose from. These are easier to analyze afterward as these standardize the answer format with no room for interpretation.

• Linear Scale - When you want to collect the user’s opinion numerically on a scale. You can change the scale, but it must start with either a 0 or a 1, and can go up to 10.
  Liner scale questions must include label descriptions identifying the extremes:
