WHAT IS A CONVERSATIONAL INTERFACE?
A Conversational UI enables interaction
with the computer on human terms.
“
 Have you interacted with a Digital Voice
Assistant or a Customer Service conversational
Bot?
 How many of you were delighted with the
Experience and would do it again?

Meaningful insight calls for depth and tailored usecases
No winners for the Amazon Alexa Grand Prize in 2017!
WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT?
1. Language can be very ambiguous
3. Conversations demand Context
2. Insight calls for customization
“We saw her duck.”
10
By 2020, 40% of bot virtual assistant applications
launched in 2018 will have been abandoned.

  • #8: A paradigm shift from earlier interfaces that call for syntactical commands or clicking icons. 
  • #10: NLU is an AI-Hard problem Conversation – Context – Dialog management
  • #13: Conversation engine: Displaying the right results visually Audio feedback in the form of voice response based on the User Input Computation Understanding the Intents and Entities Querying the right computation based on the Intents and Entities requested NLU Understanding the user input Extracting the user input into Intents and Entities
