Enlisting dataflow graphs to improve conversational AI

These four words reflect the promise of conversational AI. It takes just seconds to ask When are Megan and I both free? Indeed, almost everything we do with technology can feel like a long path to a short goal. At Microsoft Semantic Machines, we're working to bridge this gap--to build conversational AI experiences where you can focus on saying what you want and the system will worry about how to get it done. You should be able to speak as you speak to a friend: naturally, contextually, and collaboratively. A truly powerful conversational AI needs to do more than deeply understand language.
