The only Sametime bot you need
- Unlimited number of easy-configurable answers. You can create advanced answer functions without any programming skills.
- One bot for all requests. Users do not need to add a separate bot to their buddy list for every function they wish to use, single bot handles all functions. Every function has it's own access list for defining access/no access users.
- Cross-platform solution. You can run Botstation Bot on all platforms which support Java, such as Windows, Linux.
Give existing applications a new life cycle
- Re-use your existing agents.
If you already have LotusScript/Java agents which you would like to give your users access to, you can use output from those agents in bot's answers. It is done by simply pasting a small code snippet into your agents.
- Re-use your existing formulas.
You can paste your lookup and computation formulas into bot's function configuration document and set output from that formula to be bot's answer. This is a very easy way to give users access to information in your databases. Example of such function would be a simple NAB lookup, which you can see in examples section.
- Wide range of information sources.
You can choose to retrive information from a large number of sources, such as text files, Intranet web pages, ODBC sources. See features section for more info.
