Have you ever said, “Hey Google!” or “Alexa, play my favorite song”?
The moment your device responds — it’s using Natural Language Processing (NLP).

NLP is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that helps computers understand, interpret, and respond to human language — whether it’s written or spoken.

It’s what allows chatbots, translation apps, and voice assistants to communicate like humans.
But while AI can “hear” and “respond,” it doesn’t truly understand feelings or emotions — at least, not yet!
