Building Smart Future Apps

What are Smart Apps? What makes an app "Smart"? Why are they useful? What is a microservice? What tools can I use for building my app? and how do I get started?

We would find answers to the following the questions during the talk presentation.

So we may have heard quite a bit about Big Data, and machine learning (or not), making your apps work smarter, faster and more interactive. A question often asked is - "I have this amazing app idea and I would love to target the next billion users, where do I begin? and how can I make my regular app become a smarter app?"

During this talk, I will be taking us through a step by step process for making our apps smarter and more interactive.

1. “Building Smart Future Apps ” @ISDEV 2017 Presenting: Segun Joshua Theme: Building Smart Apps for the Future .
2. Introduction (One man Connectivity) The foundation of technology especially in the IT sector lies on the ability for humans to connect with one other, with their immediate and their wide spread environment. One man connectivity conveys the ideology that it is indeed possible for all to stay connected regardless of where you are, when you are or what you are(human, animal,place or thing,lol)

4. What's the “BIG” deal?
5. 1. What is a “Smart App”? 2. Examples Around Us 3. Why build Smart Apps 4. Getting Started 5. Conversational Experiences 6. Resources & Tools
6. What is a “smart App”? An Intelligent app is an app that is able to solve real life human problems by relying on its own knowledge, logic(reasoning) and understanding generated from its ability to self-learn. It is called artificial because its built on man-made Intelligence Therefore, It's safe to say that an app is only as intelligent as the person(s) who made it.
7. What is a Regular App? Apps that manage information . Yeah, that's it
8. Why is a smart app smart? o Collects information o Learn from the collected inoformation o learn from Interaction {Users, Physical World}
9. Why is it Smart? They provide Actionable Information oGather lots of Data oCrunch with Machine Learning oMix with predictive analysis
10. Smart Apps are: oIntelligent oContextual oPro-active oLiving and Breathing
11. Smart Apps are Intelligent Smart apps makes recommendation and prediction by combining analytics, ML & AI
12. Smart Apps are Contextual The relate with Data based on: oUser oSensor oLocation Data oEvents
13. Smart Apps are Pro-Active They give user recommendations of what to do, without being asked. They anticipate user behavior and deliver actionable and individualized ouitcomes
14. They learn continually from interactions, become more relevant and valuable.
15. Examples of Smart Apps. oGoogle Maps oGoogle Photos oFacebook News Feed oNetflix oUber oPersonal Asistants
16. Why Build a Smart App?
17. The aim is to build intelligent apps that connects humans both physically and emotionally. The goal is to develop an advanced technology product for human use.
18. Second Why? o User gets more compelling and prescriptive user experience o Support and Enable key User/Business Decisions o Market needs estimated to reach $267 B in 2020
19. Case Study: The Banking Sector o AML Pattern Detection o Fraud Detection o Customer Recommendation and Support
20. Case Study: Ecommerce o Predicting Customer Behavior o Product Recommendations
21. Case Study: Health Care o Mining Medical Records for Better Health Care o Detecting Patterns o Personalized Treatment Plan
22. Conversational Experiences
23. ChatBots They use machine learni ng to understand what user is saying. Extracting: 1. Contexts 2. Entities 3. Intent
24. Example of Conversational Experiences o Google Asistant o Kudi.AI o Lara.NG o Cortana
25. “Nobody wants to talk with a robotic robot”
26. What is this saying ?
27. How to do it? Be user-focused, providing them with something of value. This requires that you know your end-users very well and pay attention to your UX . The UX allows your end-user to know the value of your AI and how to use it.
28. Test it, and test it, and test it, and test it: Chat log reviews are key and should be done on a daily basis. Track them, identify where the key responses are mis-firing, where false-positives are hitting, and why. Iterative builds are a must here and expect that your bot is something you continually improve, refine, expand, and improve. Learn from your mistakes. Improve your libraries, tighten integration, float responses higher up the flow so that people know what they can do when. All those decisions come from testing.
29. It is simply because we don’t need more people, either. So build a system that represents the end-users’ values, which treats them with dignity and respect, and help them in a humane manner. Put personality over technology, prioritize personal attention over automation, and use tools to make the character believable. Avoid the uncanny valley not only of appearance but of psychology, social interaction, and response style.
30. A good design in terms of service and experience is key to building a successful Smart app
31. “Try solve a problem from a human standpoint”
32. Sometimes it’s not the fault of your AI: it’s all about bad design. If you want to build a great smart app you should know that – except for some exceptional use case – the tech know-how is a point of parity. A good design, both in terms of service and experience, is the key to build successful AI app, driving satisfactions and delight to final users. So, how to build great AI app? Find something useful and never forget users.
33. “Ensure that the data that you collect is top notch”
34. When developing an AI platform, get the most important underlying quality of data. In AI, data is everything… Avoid situations of taking in garbage, and pushing garbage out.
35. Resources and Tools. {Conversational Experience} o api.AI o IBM Watson o Wit.AI o Bot Framework o Flowxo

39. Final Notes:- Every app today that needs to be developed today, has to be smart. This is not a recommendation, it is a neccessity.
