Conversational AI
Conversational AI is AI you talk to in plain language, back and forth, like ChatGPT or a voice assistant.
Think of it like
A helpful person at an information desk: you ask in normal words, they answer, you ask a follow-up.

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Siri, and Alexa are all conversational AI. You type or speak; they respond in kind.
Why it matters
It is the kind of AI most people meet first. Knowing the term connects the everyday “chatbot” to the bigger picture.
