Any additional backstory on this? Did someone preprogram the A/V part, or did they really go the extra mile of instantaneously generating text to speech and then parsing speech to text to feed into the chatbot?

There's no way they went to much trouble. Of course there's the text to speech component with the whole avatar 3D model thing, which they probably leveraged from some other program. The only thing they would then need to do would be to write a program that (on computer A) reads text from the chatbot, then sends it over to computer B, which sends it to chatbot and listens for a reply. Then it takes the reply, sends it to computer A, which sends it to chatbot.
