Bots vary in how useful they are but some are
well worth taking a look at. Take the Bing News
bot for example. Add this and then type a word (“Crime” for
example) in the conversation window. The bot will return
news stories based on that subject.Skype also now includes Bots. Bots are artificially
intelligent programs that can do many useful
things like search for news, summarise webpages, play games
and more. You can start chatting with a bot just like you chat
with friends, just choose a bot and click Get started.If you want to make calls to contacts not using
Skype (you can make calls to mobiles and
landlines too), you will need to add some Skype credit. To do
this, click on your profile picture in the bottom left and click
the ‘Add Skype credit’ link.Skype instant messaging makes it easy to keep
in touch with your contacts and groups wherever
they are. You can share files, photos and contacts. To instant
message one of your contacts, select their name and start
typing at the bottom of the main window.
You can select any contact from your contacts list
and then either instant message them or start a
voice or video call. If the contact you click on has Skype, the
call option buttons will appear in the top right corner of the
window. Click the relevant button to start a call.
Select your friend from the search results,
assuming you can see them in the list, and
click Add to Contacts. Type a quick note to introduce yourself
and then click Send. They will receive a request from you,
along with the message and can choose whether to accept
you or not.
