Nokia Bots

Nokia Bots, the add-ons that autonomously learn about our preferences, is updated to version 1.8.1, and now supports Symbian^3 devices, as our Nokia N8.

Nokia Bots is a collection of add-ons that autonomously learn your personal preferences, and improve user experience with new, customized features and tricks. These add-ons, or Bots, observe how the phone is being used and automatically configure and activate themselves, if customization seems relevant.

Contacting your friends becomes a breeze when you let Contact Bot update your frequently called contacts to your homescreen. It simply learns which persons you call the most, and automatically puts them as shortcuts into a new Contact Bot widget where names and photos of top-4 contacts are easily available. Contact Bot is the first location-aware Bot: it can distinguish home and work from other locations and provide different top contacts at each learned location. This Bot was developed based on Beta Labs users’ feedback.

Currently, five Bots are included:

• Profile Bot: Do you ever forget to silence the phone for meetings? Or when the meeting ends, forget to switch back to normal profile, and miss calls? Profile Bot is here to help. Profile changes are suggested on your homescreen: confirm automated profile changes for each meeting with a single click, or let them be fully automated for you.
• Alarm Bot: Setting up a wake-up alarm and silent profile for night time has never been easier! Alarm Bot learns at what time you use to wake up, and suggests alarms and profile changes on your homescreen nightly. Create a new alarm and automate night profile with a single click, and never again forget phone to silent profile in the morning.
• Shortcut Bot: New apps from Ovi store make the phone more useful and fun. With the help of Shortcut Bot, you get quick access to your most frequently used apps straight from your homescreen without configuration hassles: your preferences are learned in the background, and shortcuts automatically updated.
• Battery Bot: Battery Bot observes your battery status. In case the battery is likely to drain while you sleep, it reminds you in advance to connect the charger. Otherwise you might wake up too early because of “battery low” alerts, or too late if it drains before wake-up alarm.
