BrightspaceBot

A natural language chatbot for Brightspace

BrightspaceBot, a prototype developed by D2L Labs, enables users to use natural language questions and commands to get their Brightspace content. Its extensible design allows it to be connected to a variety of popular chat platforms.

BrightspaceBot allows users to type in a variety of questions about their course content and get answers immediately. It also saves time for users by pushing out a stream of activities/updates from across all of their courses.
