Conversational Assistants that Converse with Each Other
summary
Proposal to make independent chatbots interoperate using simple JSON messages: three specs (dialogue events, conversation envelope, an assistant manifest near 0.x release) plus an open‑source sandbox 2.0 implementation that auto‑generates sequence diagrams and supports transfers. Demos show IVR + smart‑library and an Estonian government “bureaucrat” assistant successfully accepting invitations, sharing conversation IDs, and answering queries. Project lives on GitHub under the Open Voice Interoperability Initiative and cites that ∼96% of web content is outside public LLMs as a driver for interoperability.
