Introducing our 2.0 Bot Developer Kit
|
| |
Get started building bots using our new Bot Developer Kit 2.0! With an ultra simplified configuration and authentication setup, intuitive message and room management, message template and new activities APIs, developing bots on Symphony has never been easier. BDK 2.0 is available for Java (other languages will follow). Learn how the BDK 2.0 can help power your Symphony Bots, integration and workflow automation today!
The BDK 2.0 can be summarized with a very simple mathematical equation:
BDK 2.0 = (API Client SDK 1.0 + Bot SDK 1.0)^2
- Simplified configuration & authentication
- Multiple bots support
- Intelligent binding of the Symphony API
- Extended services
- Framework integration
- Intuitive code assistance
- Fully supported & documented
- Dedicated training courses & certification
You will get a chance to test our latest BDK version during our
London and New York Hackathons. The Symphony Developer Relations team will be on hand to provide support and answer questions.

Activities API and Amazon Lex integration
|
| |
By leveraging the Activities API developers can easily create workflows and automations. In addition to providing intuitive control over bot-to-user interactions, the Activities API makes it easy to integrate with third party systems. Having complete control over bot-to-user interactions is especially helpful when needing to manage conversation state or introduce NLP (Natural Language Processing) into your workflow.
With new frameworks and integrations such as Amazon Lex, introducing NLP into your bot’s workflow is easier than ever. Simply train your models in Amazon Lex’s intuitive dashboard, extract the relevant data from your bot-to-user interaction, perform the intended business logic with this given data, and reply to the user all while maintaining conversation state.
The following video is an example of a Symphony chatbot leverages the Activities API, Amazon Lex’s NLP service, as well as the yahoo finance API in order to fetch stock prices in real time:

Improved Symphony Elements
|
| |
Bring the Symphony "look and feel" to a bot conversation with improved Symphony Elements:
We have added input validation to Elements:
- Front-end DLP scanning will be performed before executing the Regex
- Front-end validation is performed upon submission
We will be adding support for:
- DLP scanning on Symphony Elements form replies
- Providing warnings on a violation so users can ignore & submit
- Or completely blocking a form entry before submission
We are currently working on adding state to Elements through our versatile "stateful messages" concept.

Symphony Innovate Hackathons 2020
|
| |
Symphony is hosting its first virtual hackathons for the APAC, EMEA and Americas regions in September/October 2020. These Hack@Home events allow developers across each region to participate remotely and safely, with the common goal of driving innovation in problem-solving.
If you are based in EMEA or Americas, there is still time to register. Do not miss your chance to connect with like-minded developers and turn one day of hacking into the start of a game-changing solution. Join in and solve real-world problems with technical elegance, save time from tedious processes, or make remote working surpass the physical workspace experience.
APAC Hackathon results
This year’s series kicked off in the APAC region on 16th September and for the first time, had developers from 4 different countries compete in the same event. The solutions touched on use-cases such as customer onboarding, order processing, market data distribution, natural language processing and several third-party integrations. Three teams emerged at the end of the day, winning in the respective categories below. They will all progress onto the global Symphony Hackathon Olympics in 2021, facing off with contenders from the other regions.
- Most Cutting-Edge Technical Development
Team Alligator from NatWest Markets built an automated workflow to replace large-scale coordination activities like power shutdowns or disaster recovery tests. The solution handles task assignments, tracking, reminders and collation in a conversational flow structured using Symphony Elements.
- Most Impactful Business Automation
Team Valuefy demonstrated a wealth management use-case, building an order management flow that brings traders, relationship managers and their clients and into one seamless process for price discovery and execution. The solution pairs with Symphony’s WeChat/WhatsApp Connect offering to reach clients within Symphony.
Team Citi built a price shock detection system to automatically extract and analyse price-sensitive news from social media, delivering insights to commodities traders before being published by mainstream news sources. This reduces the latency of taking action on positions even while trading floors operate remotely.
