ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

W3C MMI

W3C MMI means that a group of very smart people made a set of rules for computers to follow when people talk to them. It's like a game of Simon says, but instead of following the person's movements, the computer follows commands that the person gives it through talking or other ways of communicating. The rules help the computer understand what the person is saying so it can do what they want it to do. It's a bit like having a robot friend who can do things for you when you ask nicely!
