1. A response generating apparatus comprising:
acquiring circuitry configured to acquire input information that is a trigger for generating a response with respect to a user and context information indicating a situation of the user; and
response generating circuitry configured to generate the response associated with the input information based on the context information acquired by the acquiring circuitry, wherein
the acquiring circuitry is further configured to acquire, as the context information action prediction information estimated from an action performed by the user and indicating a predicted future action of the user.
