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 1):
A method implemented using one or more processors and comprising:\n detecting, at a first client device that executes a first portion of a virtual assistant, by one or more input devices of the client device, one or more physical actions of a user, wherein the one or more physical actions are detected during a first session between the user and the virtual assistant; analyzing, by the virtual assistant, the one or more attributes of the one or more physical actions of the user to determine a state of the user during the first session; storing, by the virtual assistant in memory hosted on a cloud infrastructure that is accessible to at least the first client device, an indication of the state of the user determined during the first session for future use by the virtual assistant; determining, by the virtual assistant based on one or more signals, that a second session between the user and the virtual assistant that is distinct from the first session is underway; forming, by a second portion of the virtual assistant that executes on the cloud infrastructure, based on the stored indication of the state of the user, a natural language output, wherein the natural language output is associated with the state of the user determined during the first session; and outputting, by the virtual assistant via one or more output devices of the first client device or a second client device, as part of the second session, the natural language output.
