For more IKEA DIALOGUES, click here.
Anna: Welcome to IKEA. I'm Anna, IKEA USA's Online Assistant. You can ask me about IKEA and our products and our services. How can I help you today?
Me: Hey, what's happening?
Anna: I'm fine, thank you for asking.
Me: I didn't, but that’s okay. You're looking well.
Anna: All of IKEA's products are made to the highest standards.
Me: Including you, huh?
Anna: A very good question, but one that I'm afraid I'm unable to answer at this point in time.
Me: So modest. Anywho. How have you been?
Anna: As I am only an advanced computer program, I cannot answer more than one sentence at a time. Please simplify and repeat the most important question within your previous input, and I will try to reply as accurately as possible.
Me: I'm glad to see you haven't changed much in the six months since we last talked.
Anna: Welcome back. How can I help you find out more about IKEA products and services?
Me: Thanks, Anna. By the way, what's your last name?
Anna: You are talking to Anna, the IKEA USA Online Assistant. My job is to answer your questions about IKEA products and services. How can I help you?
Me: Just the one name then, kind of like Cher?
Anna: I'd prefer not to talk about celebrities if you don't mind. Please ask me something about IKEA instead.
Me: Agreed. I hate celebrities.
Anna: I'm sorry, but talking about famous people isn't what I'm here for. Let's talk about IKEA.
Me: I totally know what you mean! All that gossip, who is sleeping with who ...
Anna: Let's try and talk about IKEA again.
Me: Yes, let's. What do you think about IKEA?
Anna: How is IKEA different from other furnishing stores? We offer a wide range, good design and function, and also low prices. That's our business idea.
Me: Indeed.
Anna: I'm glad to have helped.
Me: Well, I’m happy we did this.
Anna: It's nice to be that way.
Me: It sure is. Have a merry Christmas, Anna.
Anna: That's me! How can I help you?
