Abstract:
Techniques are described herein for chatbots to achieve greater social grace by tracking users' states and providing corresponding dialog. In various implementations, input may be received from a user at a client device operating a chatbot, e.g., during a first session between the user and the chatbot. The input may be semantically processed to determine a state expressed by the user to the chatbot. An indication of the state expressed by the user may be stored in memory for future use by the chatbot. It may then be determined, e.g., by the chatbot based on various signals, that a second session between the user and the chatbot is underway. In various implementations, as part of the second session, the chatbot may output a statement formed from a plurality of candidate words, phrases, and/or statements based on the stored indication of the state expressed by the user.

Claim (Index 10):
A method comprising:\n receiving, at a client device operated by a user to engage with a virtual assistant, first input from the user, wherein the first input is received during a first session between the user and the virtual assistant, and the first input is based on user interface input generated by the user via a first input modality of the client device; semantically processing, by the virtual assistant, the first input from the user to determine a state expressed by the user to the virtual assistant; storing, by the virtual assistant, an indication of the state expressed by the user during the first session in memory for future use by the virtual assistant; determining, by the virtual assistant based at least in part on second input received from the user via a second input modality of the client device, that a second session between the user and the virtual assistant, that is distinct from the first session, is underway; forming, based on the stored indication of the state expressed by the user and in response to the determining, a natural language output from a plurality of candidate words, phrases, or statements; and outputting, by the virtual assistant via one or more output devices of the client device, as part of the second session, the natural language output to address the state expressed by the user during the first session.
