CDM Interact is a Finnish research and development company, working on talking robots and conversational AI systems.

CityTalk is a prototype dialogue system in which users interact with social robots that search knowledge graphs as a primary source of information. The aim is to make the dialogue system more generic by putting metadata about domain ontologies into knowledge graphs instead of into dialogue components. The knowledge graphs are stored in graph databases either locally or in the cloud. The interaction between users, robots, and databases is managed by a conversational AI framework.

WikiTalk enables robots to talk fluently about thousands of topics using information from Wikipedia, and shift smoothly from topic to topic by following the links in Wikipedia. Wikitalk is multimodal and multilingual, integrating face-tracking, nodding and communicative gesturing with speech synthesis and speech recognition in English, Finnish and Japanese.
