I wonder if this is in response to Google's open sourcing of Parsey McParseface: http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2016/05/announcing-syntax...

Or Microsoft's language parser: https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/language-...

Facebook already has Wit.ai which is extremely similar to Microsoft's LUIS, and in some ways more advanced.

If this post is a response to anything, it is most similar to Google's recently announced Allo, at least from a product perspective.

It's a little tough to figure out what Facebook's goal with the post was though since it's not very technical.

except this isn't open source.
