ddahl
many mobile assistants are based on natural language
siri, cortana, google now
why concede this space to proprietary solutions?
what about enterprise specific
doesn't scale
ddahl
bert: thing on the web that's not a browser
ddahl
scribe: doesn't need speech
interaction but maybe gestures
... natural language is too chatty for typing
debbie: there could be much more dialog-like
ddahl
bert: would like to control the output
ddahl
debbie: Siri often gives you just
Wikipedia
... maybe an open source platform that you could customize,
e.g. load the sports module
... good for accessibility
... skip advertising
... would like to be able to ask for links on the page
... could index conversations by location, time, topic
... should be able to encode data visualization
... in a way that you like or different ways
ddahl
bert: saw something that looked at the links and several levels of links past that
ddahl
debbie: EMMA 2.0 can support multimodal fission to allocate levels of concreteness to an output
ddahl
bert: regularize navigation in a web page, e.g. a standard table of contents
ddahl
scribe: could generate table of contents from a web page
debbie: browers haven't become user-friendly
ddahl
bert: often uses text browsers or curl to just get information, or just uses atom or rss feed
<ddahl> debbie: bert's requirements -- doesn't need speech, more interested in desktop, not really interested in natural language
<ddahl> ...could be interested in a history of interactions and then bringing them back
<ddahl> bert: Opera allows user style sheets
<ddahl> ...but Opera doesn't have per-site style sheets
<ddahl> ...possible with Mozilla
<ddahl> ...but can't reorder
<ddahl> ...would also like to do this with non-web info like mail
<ddahl> debbie: could also go to REST API's, for example Best Buy
<ddahl> bert: mobile sites are sometimes better
<ddahl> ...also easier to scrape
<ddahl> debbie: this isn't what I expected, but interesting
<ddahl> ...more interested in accessing semantics of page
<ddahl> debbie: would be nice to also integrate best practices from other sites with information
