Abstract: A system and method for creating a context-aware, conversational chat bot or agent in multi-party conversations where participants have different levels of security access to information and the bot operates in one or more modes depending on the business context of the multi-user collaboration virtual workspace. The methods include adding a bot, as a participant, to a virtual workspace that is a multi-user collaboration workspace, obtaining, at a bot application server, context of the virtual workspace, setting, by the bot application server, a skill set for the bot from among a plurality of skill sets. The skill set varies based on the context of the virtual workspace. The methods further include configuring, by the bot application server, the bot to perform at least one task in the virtual workspace based on the skill set.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a policy driven cloud storage management broker and a cloud storage policy router, along with methods for registering tenant applications with the cloud storage management broker and for sending (and retrieving) files to/from a cloud storage service. A tenant application may be configured to generate a user interface that allows a user to specify metadata to associate with a file along with a link to a cloud storage service to which the file is uploaded. The tenant application may collect and store the metadata attributes (along with a reference to the file stored in the cloud) in an enterprise database, while the file itself may be transmitted to the cloud storage service directly. The cloud storage policy router may learn the capabilities of different cloud storage providers using an advertisement routing protocol.
