Evorus: A Crowd-powered Conversational Assistant Built to Automate Itself Over Time
TLDREvolent, a crowd-powered conversational assistant built to automate itself over time by allowing new chatbots to be easily integrated to automate more scenarios, and reusing prior crowd answers, and learning to automatically approve response candidates is introduced.

How do people cite this paper?
(generated 20 days ago)Evorus has shaped research on crowd-AI hybrid systems by serving as a reference architecture for combining crowd workers with automated chatbots — cited in work on crowd-powered conversational support, human-AI hybrid intelligence, and conversational microtasking — while its self-automation approach (learning to approve responses and reuse crowd answers over time) has informed designs for reducing human workload in deployed dialogue systems, predicting chatbot failure for machine-human handoff, and scaling expert-backed chatbots, and its deployment methodology and latency/cost trade-offs have been used to benchmark crowd-powered system performance, motivate research on response delay effects, and frame the gap between current AI capabilities and user needs in open-domain dialogue.
