Microsoft is making improvements to its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot systems to give a more natural flow to conversations. The changes to the Rinna chatbot allows it to begin speaking whilst listening to commands, interrupting the user where necessary with important information. It will also be able to continue the exchange without requiring the user to use the "wake word" to initiate a new command, helping to make it a more convincingly two-way discussion. The company intends to extend the new technology to its other chatbots, such as Zo and Xiaolce.
