Abstract
An assistance device that assists with the generation of a computer program for controlling operations of a device to be controlled, the assistance device including an output control unit that controls operations of an output unit that outputs an utterance inputted into an input unit that receives an input of an utterance which is information outputted by an output source, wherein, in a case in which information indicating an event that has a possibility of occurring in a human-device conversation, that is, an interaction between the device to be controlled and a user of the device to be controlled, is inputted, the output control unit causes the output unit to output an event indicating the inputted information, and in a case in which information indicating an event that has a possibility of occurring in an (N−1)th place (where N is an integer equal to or greater than 1) during the human-device conversation is inputted into the input unit, the output control unit causes the output unit to output information prompting for an input of information indicating an event that has a possibility of occurring in the Nth place during the human-device conversation.
