IBM Watson is a brand that includes a set of products and services, made famous by its Jeopardy prowess. Watson includes a chatbot platform and conversational API.

We released Bot Libre for Business 5.1 this week.
Bot Libre 5.1 includes several new features including Timers and Bot Services, as well as many other enhancements and fixes.

• Timers - Schedule and run background tasks for your bot, every hour, or every day. This allows your bot to manage mailing lists, message users on social media, scrape website data, generates reports, and perform other scheduled tasks.

It is no longer sufficient for a business to only connect with their customers on their website. Customers now use a variety of different messaging and social media platforms, and expect to be able to connect with businesses through social media. If your business is not on Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, or other platforms you are missing engaging with your customers.
