New Delhi: Tired to maintaining all your social media accounts? Google has reportedly patented a robot that would help people better manage their social media presence by posting on the user's behalf.
The search giant filed patent plans in 2011 for software that slowly learns how you react on social networks, creates responses for you, and analyzes continuing interaction.
The software also flags messages that demand a more personal response.
Google software engineer Ashish Bhatia invented the new technology. He wrote in the patent application, “The popularity and use of social networks and other types of electronic communication has grown dramatically in recent years. It is often difficult for users to keep up with and reply to all the messages they are receiving.”
Eventually, the robot would be able to make suggestions of its own that, ideally, are indistinguishable from the real person. While the system does have potential, examples provided in the patent suggest it still needs work.
