Abstract
Provided is an information processing apparatus that has an utterance function or controls the utterance function. The information processing apparatus includes a sending unit that sends interactive information regarding a voice agent, a receiving unit that receives interactive information regarding another voice, and a control unit that controls an utterance timing of the voice agent on the basis of the interactive information regarding another voice agent received by the receiving unit. The control unit causes utterance by the voice agent to stand by on the basis of the interactive information received from another voice agent. Moreover, the control unit causes the interactive information to be continuously sent during the utterance by the voice agent and during interaction between the voice agent and a user.
