Notes:
Microsoft Xiaoice (pronounced “Shao-ice”) is a artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot developed by Microsoft. It was first launched in China in 2014, and has since been made available in several other countries, including Japan, Indonesia, and the United States.
Xiaoice is designed to have natural and engaging conversations with users, and can be accessed via a range of platforms, including messaging apps, social media, and voice assistants. It is able to understand and respond to user input using natural language processing (NLP) technologies, and can learn from its interactions with users to improve its performance over time.
Xiaoice is designed to provide a range of services, including:
- Chatting and conversation: Xiaoice is able to hold natural and engaging conversations with users on a wide range of topics. It can also provide personalized recommendations and suggestions based on its understanding of the user’s preferences.
- Language translation: Xiaoice is able to translate text and speech between languages, making it useful for users who need to communicate with people in different countries or who speak different languages.
- News and information: Xiaoice can provide users with news and information on a wide range of topics, including current events, sports, and entertainment.
- Personal assistance: Xiaoice can help users with tasks such as setting reminders, making recommendations, and answering questions.
