Abstract
An automated conversation intermediary performs several operations during a conversation between end users and chatbots. Prior to adding natural language input from an end user to a chatbot prompt, the intermediary annotates the input to indicate a role of the end user, using hidden markers for the annotation that are not presented to the end user during the conversation. The intermediary receives output generated by the chatbot, which also includes hidden markers in addition to natural language to be presented to the end user, and removes the hidden markers before providing the natural language portion of the output to the end user.
