Microsoft: Introducing NLWeb: Bringing conversational interfaces directly to the web.
The Github repo has more:
There are two distinct components to NLWeb.
- A protocol, very simple to begin with, to interface with a site in natural
language and a format, leveraging json and schema.org for the returned answer.
See the documentation on the REST API for more details.
- A straightforward implementation of (1) that leverages existing markup, for
sites that can be abstracted as lists of items (products, recipes, attractions,
reviews, etc.). Together with a set of user interface widgets, sites can
easily provide conversational interfaces to their content. See the documentation
on Life of a chat query for more details on how this works.
Every NLWeb instance is a MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Looks like this is mostly about human curating lists of products to be MCP accessible.

more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
