Looks good. It would be great if some of Colloquis' technology could be used in an sdk available to developers. Natural language processing is a very difficult thing to do well, it would be immensely helpful to have a library that allows you to break down a user's message into a group of standardized language objects (for want of a better description 
). For example, "I need to find out the train departure times going from Cardiff to London" or "At what time do trains leave Cardiff for London" would both be reduced to "need know train departure times cardiff to london" or something.
Any plans to make some of the technology available to bot developers
Cheers
