WIT Software has been preserving their connection with academic structures since their appearance as a company.

Because of that, WIT joins Shift APPens year after year since 2015, enhancing their relationship with all of our incredible shifters. 🎊🎈
This year, as Diamond Sponsor, WIT Software brings our attendees a formidable challenge with its astonishing WIT Bot Engine platform, inciting all shifters to use it to develop a stunning bot and deploy it on Facebook Messenger. It does not matter the category or the purpose, as long as it is absolutely fantastic! With WIT Bot Engine, you can create sophisticated bots, with a few clicks . All you need is your imagination and brain, they will give you the tools and the support! Your bot will be evaluated accordingly to these criteria:
* Relevance of the problem that solves ✅
* Bot persona (make it talk in a cool but adjusted way… nobody likes to talk to a machine) 🤙
* Conversational aspects 💬
* Use of good practices, such as the supply of rails, forward conversations, contextual navigation 💻
If your bot would be great, awesome and random enough, your team will receive an incredible Robot Cozmo, by Anki. So, don’t miss this opportunity and start thinking what are you going to build during the Shift APPens!! 😎🎉
