This is the application document for the 2019 Amazon Alexa competition. We give an overall vision of our conversational experience, as well as a sample conversation that we would like our dialog system to achieve by the end of the competition. We believe personalization, knowledge, and self-play are important components towards better chatbots. These are further highlighted by our detailed system architecture proposal and novelty section. Finally, we describe how we would ensure an engaging experience, how this research would impact the field, and related work.
