Building a story bot in KooKoo-Star in your own story

By C Chaitanya
Storyweaver is an awesome site. Its one of the favorite sites for my kids. You get a lot of great stories. But more importantly you get stories licensed under creative commons(CC-BY-4.0). This provides for a lot of flexibility for developers like me.

So using these stories, we had built a story bot on Facebook messenger. Kids can chat with the bot and get stories.

Now that this was working well, I thought of adding some fun into the mixture. What if the kids can star in their own story. After all, they are reading the story on the mobile.

So courtesy of some image processing magic(OpenCV) and stories from Storyweaver you can now star in your own story. Right now there is only one story. The technical details of how this was done will be shared in another blog. So go ahead and star in your own story at KooKooStoryBot. (Like the page if you like it :))

An example story with Leonardo as the star is below :)
Update: Improved the image processing to fit the face with better masking.

Integrating Arborjs with Angular to create a live calls dashboard

By C Chaitanya
Arborjs  is a cool graph visualization library. Angular  is one of the best JavaScript frameworks and we have been using Angular in a lot of our front end development. When you handle millions of calls, proper visualization becomes very important. Without proper visualization, you can get lost in the mountains of data. So we spend a lot of time to come up with good visualizations to represent the data. Since we loved the cool way in which Arbor represented graph data, we could not wait to hook it up with Angular. Because of Angular's two way data binding, when you hook up Angularjs with Arbor.js you can get a dynamically updated visualization of graph data with cool animations. To give back to the community, we have put up the code online at Github . Basically we have created an Angularjs directive for Arborjs. Please feel free to fork the code and add extensions and use it for your own visualizations. The code is self explanatory with comments inline. Best way to ...

KooKoo Contact Center integration with WhatsApp

By C Chaitanya
WhatsApp announced the launch of their business API yesterday. This is a big deal. A lot of businesses have been asking for WhatsApp integration and now its a possibility. Twilio has already launched an integration . Won't be long before we see a lot more integrations pop up. The most obvious use case is for support chat bots, alerts and reminders. But we at Ozonetel believe one other use case will become the dominant use case, WhatsApp as a support channel with human agents. We believe WhatsApp will become a dominant channel in contact centers world wide. There are multiple reasons for this: WhatsApp is ubiquitous. Everyone has the app. WhatsApp interface is well known to all customers. It is feature rich. You can share audio, video, location etc in the app itself. You can integrate bots for repetitive tasks. Being the leaders in cloud contact center solutions, we at Ozonetel knew that we had to integrate with the WhatsApp channel as early as possible....
