AGORA

Automatic generation and optimisation of digital assistants

AGORA is the first software environment that has been created to facilitate the intuitive, platform-independent development of digital assistants that optimize themselves and communicate with each other. AGORA thus addresses the market demand for an intuitive development environment by making natural language a communication medium already during the development process of the digital assistant. The development in natural language processing required for this presents a major innovation with regard to the understanding - available for the first time - of highly complex natural language input.

It must be emphasised that this is not a platform-specific variant, but that the developer is able to generate the source text for several target platforms with only one single definition of the requirements. Any adaptors for all target systems available on the market can be operated, among them all major assistance platforms such as Alexa/Amazon, Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri. The emerging assistants will optimise themselves at runtime by automatically searching for upgrades and integrating them.
