Microsoft China had piloted an AI chat-bot called "Xiaoice" in May 2014. I wonder if Tay is a continuation of that project in the wider community or it's a different product built by a different team?
Xiaoice's official site [2] claimed that it's a 3rd gen product and integrated into Weibo (Chinese's version of Twitter).

- ocdtrekkie 11y agoI thought it'd be fun to ask Tay about XiaoIce. It does seem the two are related! https://twitter.com/TayandYou/status/712731713982611456 https://twitter.com/TayandYou/status/712731713982611456

- devy 11y agoThank you Jake! How come I didn't think of that! Since Xiaoice has been around for almost 2 years, according to its integrations listed on their official site, it seems that the chat-bot has evolved and proven to be useful in a few very specific use-cases: Haier's smart appliance control app, weather, shopping assistant for JD.com(popular e-commerce site in China), Xiaomi's messaging app(Miliao), Meipai(popular video sharing app in China).
