Enterprise Deep Intelligence (EDI)

EDI Agent 

The EDI agent is a research prototype deployed internally, which can easily schedule meetings for all Microsoft employees. The EDI agent is able to understand natural language requests, find appropriate time slots, book available meeting rooms and track attendee responses. The EDI agent has been very popular since it’s released in July 2015. Internal users can talk to the agent through email and Skype for business.

EDI Graph

The EDI graph is a knowledge graph behind the EDI agent. The graph contains the relationship among people, departments, locations, meeting rooms, documents, expertise and activities and the relationship closeness. Based on the EDI graph, we may enable many intelligent scenarios. For example, the EDI agent knows who an simple first name represents, which meeting room is one’s favorite etc.
