Abstract: A workflow development system is described that enables users to easily develop and deploy bots. The system provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a user to select a plurality of steps for inclusion in a workflow and within which each user-selected step is represented as an interactive object. The plurality of steps includes at least one step of receiving a message directed to a bot or sending a message on behalf of the bot and at least one step of invoking an application to perform an action in response to receiving the message directed to the bot or to receive information upon which the sending of the message on behalf of the bot will be based. The system also receives information about each of the user-selected steps included in the workflow and generates workflow logic based on the received information that is executable to run the workflow.

Abstract: An update system may receive and apply updates to a client device on a per user basis, where an update may be applied to one user but not another. The user specific updates may make changes to user specific areas of the client device, such as user registries or areas of a file system that may be specific to a the user receiving an update. A download agent may communicate with an update distribution server to receive a description of available updates and may download those updates applicable to individual users. An installing agent may process the updates for each user individually when the user is logged on, and in some cases, when the user is not logged on.
