In this paper we present Platypus, a natural language question answering system on Wikidata. Our platform can answer complex queries in several languages, using hybrid grammatical and template based techniques. Our demo allows users either to select sample questions , or formulate their own – in any of the 3 languages that we currently support. A user can also try out our Twitter bot, which replies to any tweet that is sent to its account.
