From chatbots and virtual assistants to multilingual customer support systems, conversational AI applications now depend heavily on accurate training data to understand user intent, tone, context, and language nuances. However, raw text alone is not enough to build intelligent systems. This is where contextual annotation becomes essential.</p><p data-start="576" data-end="1054">Contextual annotation helps AI models interpret meaning beyond isolated words or phrases. It enables systems to understand the relationship between sentences, user emotions, conversation history, domain-specific intent, and subtle linguistic cues. As
