The future is here!

You post a message using Facebook Messenger saying - “It’s raining! I need a lift to my meeting!” A friend of yours replies - "In that case you better order a taxi" Wouldn't it be nice if Facebook could understand what was written in the mesage. If it knew you wanted a taxi, then it would contact the nearest taxi company and order you a taxi. The news is that Facebook is currently looking at new artifical intelligent to do exactly this. Facebook announced its newest innovation, DeepText, on Wednesday this week. According to Facebook - "DeepText is a deep learning-based understanding engine that can understand, with near human accuracy, the textural contest of thousands of posts per second spanning more than twenty languages."
