Microsoft patents AI that rewrites your questions when you are unhappy

Microsoft describes a system where a second AI watches how you talk to a first AI. If it detects you are unhappy with an answer, it automatically rewrites your original question to be clearer and sends it back to the first AI for a new response.

Why it mattersThis could make chatbots feel less frustrating by fixing unclear questions before you have to type them again.

In the filing’s own words

A user's interaction with a first AI model is monitored, the interaction including a prompt for input to the first AI model. An indication of user dissatisfaction with a response to the prompt is detected. A second AI model is caused to rewrite the prompt based on a conversational history of the user's interaction with the first AI model. The second AI model is trained using past conversational histories with the first AI model and rewritten prompts for the first AI model.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A system comprising: one or more data processing units; and a computer-readable medium having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the one or more data processing units to perform operations comprising: rendering a user interface (UI) on a device communicatively coupled to the system, the UI for interacting with a user and providing access to a first artificial intelligence (AI) model; monitoring, by a second AI model, the user's interaction with the first AI model, the interaction including a prompt for input to the first AI model, wherein the second AI model is trained to evaluate and rewrite input prompts using past user conversational histories with the first AI model and past rewritten prompts; detecting an indication of user dissatisfaction with a response to the prompt from the first AI model; in response to detecting the indication, causing the second AI model to rewrite the prompt based on a conversational context of the user's interaction with the first AI model, wherein the rewritten prompt is generated dynamically based on an assumption specific to the user; inputting, by the second AI model, the rewritten prompt to the first AI model; and outputting the rewritten prompt on the UI along with a response to the rewritten prompt from the first AI model.
