Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to conversational system user experience. In an example, a conversational system may use one or more sensors of a user device to affect the topic or direction of a conversation or to identify a new conversation topic. The conversational system may also receive input from a user, wherein a GUI may enable the user to specify or alter semantic information used during the conversation. The GUI may comprise one or more skeuomorphic elements designed to provide a familiar or intuitive way for the user to interact with the conversational system. The GUI may also be used to disambiguate messages or convey emotion or sentiment to the user. In another example, haptic or audio feedback may be provided alongside a message to convey emotion to the user during the conversation.
