Presenting the bots at Ignite Berlin


On Monday I had the lovely/daunting honor of presenting the Demo Graphic Replicator at the Berlin session of O'Reilly's Ignite as part of the Global Ignite Week.

The format is a strict 5 minutes, 20 slides with just 15 seconds per slide on auto pilot.

Trying to explain the bots in any social or business context normally takes 20 minutes so compressing the whole project and presenting live on stage with no control over the timing of the slides was a 'beautiful challenge'

So without further ado, here's the video.














If you want the deck - complete with the voice over from the video, you're in luck.



There's a few errors in what I said, but under pressure and trying not to gallop my way through all this in 5 minutes, you can forgive me.

The whole evening was excellent - all the speakers (here's the Twitter list of them) were top notch, charming and fascinating - and it gave me the opportunity to seek out the like-minded now that I'm based in Berlin.

I warmly suggest you watch them all in action.

Many thanks to Matt and Peter for inviting me to talk. Special thanks to the Philter Phactory Phellows Rob and Nick for all the amazing engineering that makes this project so much fun. Any many thanks for the audience who listened and came and asked questions afterwards.

  2. Thanks Markus - would love to hear from 'feature requests' from you. We're always looking to expand the bots abilities.

  3. Really interesting! Do you know any other bots that are out there? Do bots follow each other?
