Chat bot helps immigrants complete their visas

  Visabot has launched a namesake Facebook Messenger chat AI that helps you complete US visa applications.

And it should learn over time -- if you voluntarily report officials' decisions on those forms, you can improve the bot's approach for future applications.

Google Translate just got a lot smarter

Google said Tuesday it has vastly improved its Google Translate app, available on phones and the web. 

The search giant said it's now incorporating "neural machine translation" into the software, which means it can translate whole sentences at a time, instead of breaking the text down to smaller chunks and translating those pieces. 

The result is translations coming out more natural, with better syntax and grammar, Google said.
