Abstract
In accordance with aspects of the disclosure, a computing device may provide a user interface for developing an interactive natural-language response system, which may include a virtual assistant. A user may interact with a system using spoken, written (e.g., text), or other input methods. The user interface may allow a user to associate sentences with intents, tag words within the sentences with concepts, and construct a grammar using the associated intents and tagged concepts. The system may use the grammar for automatically predictively associating sentences with intents and words with concepts. The system may display in the foam of a chat transcript a single branch of a tree of a discussion between the virtual assistant and a user. The user interface may graphically display variable values to assist a user to test system responses under different simulated conditions.
