Abstract

A chat-based communication capability is presented. In at least some embodiments, a chat-based communication capability utilizes a chat-based communication paradigm to support one or more communication interaction types not typically supported by chat-based communication paradigms. In at least some embodiments, a chat-based communication capability supports chat-based communication between a human entity and a non-human entity (e.g., a device, a program, a process, an organization, or the like). In at least some embodiments, a chat-based communication capability supports chat-based communication between multiple non-human entities (e.g., where the non-human entities may include devices, programs, processes, organizations, or the like).
