Iara, the chatbot that listens to how you ask

Field notes

Iara’s stated mechanism uses the vocabulary, sentence structure, and phrasing of each message to choose among guided, intermediate, and direct response paths. The guided mode confirms one step at a time, while the direct mode avoids extra turns when the request is already clear. The project says its signal is discarded between conversations rather than saved as a persistent user label. Its demonstrations show a phone view alongside a real-time panel view, and its testing account includes three relatives of team members.
