Interactive graphical output is provided by skills when they answer a question.
Each skill can be enabled, disabled or customized using the related settings screen. Dark, black and dynamic color themes are available.
The user input is interpreted by specific, yet reusable, libraries: dicio-sentences-compiler and dicio-numbers.
This app has the
