Maybe I should have given some motivational context for this question answering block. Users can use it inside their projects such as
- Adding speech input and output for questions and answers (note for this a single sentence answer is typically all that is required)
- Contacting Wikipedia for an extract to use as the source of answers using a URL such as
Note also unlike Google search - the question answering block works without a network connection (assuming the text passage is part of the project).
The overall point is to provide building blocks for Snap! users to make their own Alexa/Siri/Cortana/... Both to understand better how these things work but maybe to make a version with their own special twist.
