Topic: The first decentralized chatbot platform (Read 167 times)

ahahah what are you talking about why some bots better crypto projects to develop as Socratus

Interesting and original. I think this project will be popular among many people, who are in business. And this project will also increase demand for IOTA, but imho such coins as NEO, XRP and DASH would carry out this function just as well as IOTA.

certainly the possibilities of the AI ​​are still limited but the strength of this technology lies in its enormous potential! We have now reached a level unthinkable until a few years ago. In particular we are developing our AI with a technology called R.A.N. https://medium.com/assist/theres-a-dozen-ways-to-order-a-coffee-why-do-dumb-bots-only-allow-one-27230542636d

Here are some critical issues that this technology can improve:

• It allows the user to change their mind without going back, reducing the hassles of the intricate browsing of "old" chatbots;
• It detects all parameters required to perform an intent evaluating the CONTEXT of the sentence and not just the individual inputs;
• It works seamlessly with web views.

We do not want the AI ​​to take the place of a human being (at least for personal relationships). Most likely it will do so in the near future, but we aim to bring people together and create places of aggregation. Getting to know each other and looking at each other when they go to an event or buy a product in a store. We are not "Luddites", but we think that everything we do would be better if we only interacted a bit more with other people. Our bot gives indications to go to a place and meet people, make real personal relationships or buy a product by touching it with your hand. Our technology is not aggressive or intrusive, it does not replace man. It simply tries to connect people looking for something of quality with people who are opinion leaders in that area and in that local area. It's exactly like always having a good tip at the right time and in the right place.

We have also integrated the system of the bot also in the webpage (https://www.localflow.com). So while waiting for the tool to be trained better and better, there will also be a simpler system for researching and creating events or services.

As regards the protection of user data we are using IOTA M.A.M. technology https://blog.iota.org/introducing-masked-authenticated-messaging-e55c1822d50e?gi=ad6134b4e4a5. The data you insert in the bot in response to its questions will only be read by other network nodes consistent with your search criteria and will be permanently deleted at the end of the session. We do not care about the trends of your purchases or interests. Each time you will always have to answer the few questions the bot will ask you to look for what you want at that moment (hic et nunc)

This is an excellent observation and actually in the post is not explained in depth. The need to decentralize the whole infrastructure comes from some of the needs we have encountered in the real network of SMEs:

• difficulty in efficiently using modern tools for e-commerce and social networks. The ROI for a business owner not experienced in using digital media is quite low. We all know the difficulty in creating a winning strategy to promote your product or service online. The technology that should approach the public and make things simpler very often creates even more complexity;
• it is not just the technologies that are centralized. in fact, there is also a very dangerous centralization of both monetary resources (fee for food delivery services up to 30%) and information (often subtracted unconsciously or in an unclearly informed way). This thing in the mid-long term will continue to increasingly impoverish the local areas around large urban centers.

IOTA is not yet decentralized and clearly not even Localflow. To complete both projects as indicated on the whitepaper it will take time (not too much, just a little).

Decentralizing in our vision acquires a very concrete sense: to bring as close as possible the technology to people who need to use it (also the DLT). When we complete the first version of the platform we will open the possibility to all developers to create more specific chatbot modules that can meet any need (even in terms of ease of use). Decentralization therefore we mean it in the broadest sense: not only of the ledger but also of information and the design and use of technology.
The goal of Localflow is not to impose products created in one company to a huge audience, but to listen to who will have to use them. This idea is also enhanced by the overcoming of the pay-per-click dynamic: there will no longer be a competition for those who accumulate more visualization or more attention to the detriment of product quality, but for those offering the best service or product. In this way the focus is placed on the protagonists of local economies. There will no longer be any need to think about how to optimize your visibility by trying to become a digital marketing expert. to improve your visibility it will simply be necessary to offer a better service. No "likes" but LIVE witnesses, the success and quality of the event or product is determined by the people really present (try it now in our bot). Every worker and person in this world will be encouraged to do better what he does and what he lives for, having a technological means that helps him without imposing his scheme but enhancing that of people and relationships that bind them quickly, intuitively and without making them addicted.

Hi Trumper, good comment! I'll try to answer you
Our token will be an index of the real transactions in the network we are building. It is not configured to be a security token or a short term investment. Leaving aside that in this period it is really difficult to think of a token that gives gains in the short term, we are trying to immediately distribute EWA token to the people who really help the project in a meaningful way. Not through simple airdrops but through LOCALDROP (15% of distribution). By making the token already in circulation and immediately giving it a real and concrete purpose, we try to make the value of the token less volatile and more compliant with harmonious growth. The project has many interesting nuances and manages to hit many areas: not only the best navigability through AI but also proposing a truly decentralized system based on the exchanges that humanity has always encouraged: word of mouth. Localflow is a project that proposes a highly innovative word of mouth 2.0, distraction free (just read the information you are no longer dependent on the smartphone), and that respects user data.
The ICOs of the last 2 years did great! But how many ICOs have failed? We believe that good projects can not be done quickly, with false numbers or with networks of a few influential people. We believe that the blockchain and this whole world is born open source and in the same way should continue to create great projects: with the feedback of everyone and with the help of everyone willing to listen this change

The idea to integrate chat bots in local businesses is indeed innovative. But so far chat bots aren't smart enough to understand various degrees of human communication. Do you think this problem can be easily solved? Also would it be possible for a company to sell it's AI data to another companies on this platform?

Its good project. Chatbots will be very popular in the future. Many people keep doing preapering for them. We 'll see .

Hmm. Decentralized chatbot, do we really need that now? And under the description of "why decentralized" it doesn't actually say anything about the question. The answer about getting everyone to get the code shared and more effective is just the description for open source. And you're right there of course, open source is the way to go for blockchain. Interesting to use IOTA though, which, isn't decentralized

The software mentioned has come off as user friendly as well as it looks quite easy to use for newcomers. This will encourage their participation in the market more for sure. The market is becoming more advanced, well maintained and followed nowadays as compared to how it used to operate before.

I will tell that this is a very good and innovative project. Thank you for providing such an information. I believe that this decentralized chatbot has a very good future and I also believe that it will do good.

It seems like very good project but I don't think its token will be very valuable in the short term so I will not invest in this token, I think also the hard cap should be very low to protect investors.

Outstanding. Blockchain technology with AI always gives outstanding results, as blockchain technology provides the decentralized database needed while AI ensures a more user-friendly platform. Will make more research on this project.

This software is really great. This will help the investors as well as the people to understand the market. Actually the market of crypto currency as well as the blockchain technology is getting more disciplined. Many industries are coming with different projects and needed thing. This is really great. This will make the market bigger.

That's an awesome post! Localflow will be beneficial to many as it provides the decentralized chatbox platform. Here you can answer any queries without needing to download other messaging apps.

We are building a decentralized and easily customizable AI chatbot platform for users by their business, personal service, and fostering local exchanges worldwide.
Now I will briefly explain to you every single word of what at first might be a rather confusing and complex description ...

What is a chatbot?
A chatbot is a software that allows you to automatically answer questions or answers from users. You can integrate them in many of the messaging apps (Telegram, WeChat, Facebook Messenger, etc.) or web app. So you do not need to download other apps! Our chatbots will already be accessible directly from the Apps already downloaded by users. We are building a network of chatbots that every user can build for their business or service, all part of a single network and searchable through a main chatbot: that of Localflow's "local search". The latter will then be able, based on user requests, to look for the right chatbot among those made by users, and then the right service for the search carried out. In every chatbot users can easily enter their price list, their contacts, smart agendas, payment gateways and thousands of other functions explained on our site http://localflow.com


Why AI?
Because to answer or understand the questions and requests of users, our chatbots need to do something called NLP (Natural Language Processing). We have, in fact, created a chatbot that includes what users ask for it through a normal message, without using buttons or complicated instructions. A bit like talking to a virtual assistant.

Why decentralized network?
Because we think that development, if shared, is faster and more effective. Our source code will be open source and anyone who wants to enrich our offer will be rewarded by the system.

How will it be rewarded and who else will it be?
Data analysts and programmers will be rewarded in EWA token, a cryptocurrency created specifically for our system. In reality, all the protagonists of the local economies will also be rewarded: therefore, who will be able to offer quality services and events within our network.

Our alpha test is already online! By creating events from our Telegram bot https://t.me/localflowbot you can already receive EWA tokens. We have in fact allocated part of the distribution of tokens (15%) in the form of Localdrop, token intended to be distributed to the first users and early adopters in order to encourage a virtuous use of our network. We believe that in order to define our token as perfectly suitable to reflect the transactions of real local exchanges we must build a business development that is as harmonious and sustainable as possible. We are giving to our initial users the token to immediately incentivize a price not subject to great volatility and as much as possible parliamentary to real economies in the territory.

Why do we focus on local economies?
How do we do it all over the world? Localflow has thought of a different system than the one proposed by GAFA to promote and market user products. Everyone will be free to create their own chatbot to register their products and services and this will be included in the Localflow chatbot network. The search for services for each user will be limited in his search area and not in others (unless he asks for some other area). The research will not be based on the keywords and related sales auctions aimed at competing the various activities. Instead, our research will be LOCALIZED and guided by user needs. Let's go to deepen the request by stimulating the chatbot to ask further questions. I'll give you an example: if a user asks a place to drink a good cocktail in Milan tonight, the chatbot will answer asking for other information such as the maximum budget, if he wants a bar with live music, if he wants it near him, etc. . We believe that a conversation interface is the best way to fulfill a request and not an auction system that allows the sale of visibility and the forcing of the related game behind this dynamic. The fact that it is local does not prevent it being replicable all over the world. We want to build infact "GLOCAL" niches all over the world.

How do users search this data?
Always taking the example of before, the words "cocktail", "Milan" and "tonight"... what will their destiny be? These search criteria will be passed into a network called Tangle, the DAG o IOTA. Through an IOTA technology called MAM, we pass all user information into an encrypted systemand readable only by the chatbots relevant to the request. In the end, when the output is presented to the user, the data entered by him are eliminated without leaving a trace or constructing unnecessary filtering bubbles. In fact, the user will have to define what he is interested in and what he is looking for when talking to the chatbot.

What problem do we solve?
The services now present, although giving a huge contribution to local services, implicitly exploit the resources (both of data and percentages of fees) gradually impoverishing local economies. Also, how many merchants or business owners really know how to use the new digital tools to enhance their offer? How are these services really useful for real activities? They do this by defining their services as free, but we know that they are not. Our information and our attention are in fact the most important resources we have. We propose an infrastructure that makes data remain totally within these local niches, a development that is decentralized and incentivized by the help of the users themselves, a system that rewards the true protagonists of the local economies and the commission percentages on our services that are significantly lower than the competition. We can offer reservation, food delivery, stock provisioning services at much lower prices precisely because of our lean and shared architecture. We also encourage the development of local economies through the inhabitants of these areas.

What does all this mean?
That through our EWA token will be rewarded people who will stimulate the call to action to particular services, which will play the role of opinion leader within the local community and that will optimize the ROI of the local promotion by embodying the role of "micro -influencer". Businesses can allocate financial resources to be distributed automatically to users who stimulate other people to buy services and products thanks to their advice and sharing. All in a highly automated, totally encrypted and able to reduce the distractions to zero.

What kind of payments will we integrate in our network?
The chatbots and Localflow services will be purchased through EWA token which, as mentioned before, will also be the token that will reward the virtuous use of Localflow services. We will also support payments in IOTA and FIAT through our own multi-currency wallet already built and in the internal testing phase.

Why we use IOTA?
Because IOTA transactions are instantaneous and 0% fees. Moreover, through some IOTA technologies such as flash channels we can take advantage of even faster prepared channels. We believe that DAG technology is the only one that is adequately scalable and suitable for payment within real local economies. For further information visit:
