• We made it easier to utilize any back-end variable in the prompts you want to play, either in answers and/or questions.

• Improve recognition rates with the use of it's context and semantics understanding engine.  

• Automatic learning of the words it does not initially recognize.

• No dialog design is necessary, since the system knows how to adapt dynamically to the requirements of the natural conversation.
