A couple weeks ago, we introduced Skype Bots—a new way to bring expertise, products, services and entertainment into daily messaging on Skype. Since then, we’ve been working hard to bring this new experience to more users, and today we’re pleased to release preview Skype Bots on two additional platforms: Mac and Web.
To get started on Mac, tap on the “Contacts” from the menu and select “Add Bot….” to search for or view a list of available Bots.
If you’re using Skype for Web, select “Discover Bots” on the left toolbar to see a list of available Bots.
We’ve also been introducing previews of new Skype Bots over the past couple of weeks. These include:
- Murphy, a Bot to find and create images for when questions can’t be answered by words alone
- Summarize, a Bot designed to give an overview of a web page if you don’t have time to read the whole thing
Preview Bots are available in the latest versions of Skype for Windows Desktop, Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Web (currently available in Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, India, New Zealand, Singapore, and the US). Try them out and let us know what you think in the Skype Community!
