Some info (provided by the above):

UC (UNIX Consultant) is an intelligent natural language interface that
allows naive users to communicate with the UNIX operating system in
ordinary English.  The goal of UC is to provide a natural language help
facility that allows new users to learn operating systems' conventions
in a relatively painless way.

UC exploits Artificial Intelligent developments in common sense
reasoning as well as natural language processing in an attempt to
provide an interface that is helpful and intelligent, and not merely a
passive repository of facts.  Areas of current research involve
multi-lingual capabilities, analyzing the user's plan structure via
natural dialogue, computing possible solutions to a user's problem, and
generating responses in natural language.

Epilog:

Sorry that it looks like a sales pitch, I don't have anything better
nor do I know anything about the quality.
