The Journey to Smarter Interfaces

First Generation: Basic rule-based chatbots (1960s-2000s)

• Limited to predefined patterns
• No true understanding or learning capability
• Text-only interactions

Second Generation: NLP-powered assistants (2010s)

• Machine learning enables language understanding
• Context awareness begins to emerge
• Voice interfaces appear (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant)

Current Generation: Multimodal AI systems

• Process multiple input types simultaneously:
  • Text and natural language
  • Voice and audio
  • Images and visual content
  • Video streams
• Context-aware responses across modalities
• Human-like perception and communication
