- A GUI-based Bot Builder and Dialog Builder that allows for customization of use cases, tasks, business-logic dialogs, channels, security, and more
- Artificial Intelligence capabilities for supervised and unsupervised learning capabilities, context handling, and sentiment scoring
- Automated Speech Recognition engine (ASR) for voice-based interactions

Workplace's vision is to connect everyone in an organization, and enabling developers to build bots inside Work Chat and Groups will help people connect the platform more deeply into day-to-day collaboration. With the convergence of open APIs, cost-effective infrastructure, and abundance of data wealth, the landscape is primed for intelligent technology and conversational interfaces to make communicating with people – and the systems, applications and things needed to perform everyday business tasks and facilitate or automate complex workflows – as natural as sending a text or speaking a command.
