How do virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa understand our queries and provide us with accurate responses?

At a high level, the diagram flow describes the following process:

- A user sends a message as part of an ongoing conversation.
- The last message is turned into a self-contained query (see examples in prompt).
- The virtual assistant determines whether or not additional retrieved information is required to respond to that query.
- Retrieval is performed, producing search results.
- The assistant reasons about the user's query and search results, and produces a response.
- The response is sent back to the user.

This complex process is what allows virtual assistants to understand our natural language queries and provide us with the information we need. Have you ever wondered how it all works? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
