Abstract
A user query for information related to an audio video (AV) program is received and processed by a machine learning (ML) model such as an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. The chatbot returns a response to the query in conversational form. To ensure the chatbot does not spoil the ending for a user in the middle of the AV program, the chatbot is fed only portions of corresponding text up to the time the user is in viewing.
