Conversational Sketches
Concept #1:
This is our core challenge - making a new appointment over the phone using conversational speech. The start of the interaction uses an open-ended prompt which can accept a wide variety of input. This interaction would be designed and developed based on actual user input at this prompt, and would use intelligent fallback strategies for unexpected speech.
