Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Some computing platforms may provide a user interface from which a user can chat, speak, or otherwisecommunicate with a virtual, computational assistant (e.g., also referred to as “an intelligent assistant” orsimply as an “assistant”) to cause the assistant to output useful information, respond to a user’s needs,or otherwise perform certain operations to help the user complete a variety of real-world or virtual tasks.Unfortunately, some of the operations performed by such assistants may not be immediately performed,leaving requesting users in doubt as to whether the assistants are functioning properly or if an erroroccurred.”
