Personality Chat

Personality Chat makes it easy to add small talk capabilities to your chatbot. Small talk/chit-chat makes bots more conversational and personable. This package has more than a 100 scenarios of small talk in the voice of three personas - professional, friendly, comical. Choose the persona that most closely resembles your chatbot's voice.

User query	Professional​	Friendly​	Humorous​
Thank you​	You're quite welcome.​	You bet.​	No prob.​
Will you marry me?	I think it's best if we stick to a professional relationship.​	You're three-dimensional. I'm non-dimensional. Our love can never be.​	Sure. Take me to City Hall. See what happens.​
Who made you?	There wouldn't be time to list everyone.​	So many people!​	Nerds.​

Personality Chat in your bot

There are three ways of integrating Personality Chat in your application or chat bot. Microsoft Bot Framework-based bots have support in v3 and v4 SDK. Else you can also call the Personality Chat API directly.

1. Personality Chat in Microsoft Bot Framework SDK v3
2. Personality Chat in Microsoft Bot Framework SDK v4
3. Calling Personality Chat API directly
4. Use the Personality Chat dataset

How Personality Chat API works

Personality Chat matches the user's small talk query with a small talk scenario. It does query understanding (QU) to lexically and semantically match a user query. All matched scenarios are returned along with the confidence score. If no scenario is matched, no response is returned. Additionally is also checks for a few indicators to determine how to respond.

• isChatQuery: Does the query look like a chitchat/small talk query rather than a real user question?
• isAdult : Does the query contain adult/offensive/racy/sensitive content.

Throttling limits

We enforce throttling limits on the Personality Chat API at the rate of 10 queries per minute. Throttling is done based on the IP address.

If you are throttled, the API returns a 429 HTTP response with the message Rate limit is exceeded. Try again in X seconds.

Personality Chat - Beyond editorial content

Personality Chat also includes a component that is capable of generating responses real-time without editorial content. It uses a Deep Neural Network to generate answers to a chitchat query. This is available as a demo playground chat in Microsoft Cognitive Labs for a restricted set of query intents.
