Process

Before going into this process, I had completed a good amount of research in regards to my thesis. Lots of that knowledge was useful for this assignment.

To effectively use that knowledge and complete this assignment, I mapped everything I had seen in the last year and develop a number of points that would be the most relevant for this project. A lot of those points, were the aspects I mentioned in the Context section.

What I have not previously thought about was the dialogue for such a bot.

I took some time to develop what I began to call blocks. Blocks allow both the mediator bot and Chris to guide the conversation so that I can touch on specific topics. These blocks include an introduction to the bot, the activation of a bot, and a block designed specifically for a mediator bot to introduce the concept of paraphrasing in the context of two partners having a conversation.
