The presentation showed that while Xiaoi, Siri, and Cortana, all typical intelligent conversational systems, provide services to human beings with cloud-based interactive capabilities in the form of chatbots and personal assistants, this is only the beginning. In the future of customer-centered IoT they will become increasingly smart, providing a new conversational interface between humans and devices, and make those devices understand humans via "conversational +".

Xiaoi is a world-leading smart machine technology supplier and platform operator. It has set up a complete framework which includes semantic understanding, knowledge representation, learning systems, inference and prediction, upper application, and Bot development architecture, and has the widest number of Bot applications globally. Xiaoi provides services to ICBC, CCB, China Mobile, Huawei, SF Express, GE, and Wanda Group, as well as to hundreds of large- and medium-sized enterprises, government agencies, thousands of SMEs and developers.
