Multi-directional dialog

Abstract:

Systems and processes for providing multi-directional dialog are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors, receiving a first natural-language input; determining a first intent based on the first natural-language input, identifying a first dialog flow based on the first intent, outputting a natural-language output associated with the first dialog flow, receiving a second natural-language input; determining whether the second natural-language input satisfies dialog criteria associated with the first dialog flow, and in accordance with a determination that the second natural-language input satisfies the dialog criteria, outputting a second natural-language output associated with the first dialog flow.
