Systems and methods for facilitating handwritten personalized messages using a digital personal assistant are provided. A message for a user associated with the digital personal assistant is initiated. The message is to be communicated to a recipient by way of the digital personal assistant. Content is generated for the message, and the user may add handwritten content to the message. Once the recipient of the message is determined and the message is completed, the message is communicated to the recipient.

Message personalization using a digital personal assistant

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are described for implementing a digital personal assistant. The digital personal assistant is capable of determining that a user has asked a question or made a statement that is intended to engage with a persona of the digital personal assistant. In response to determining that the user has asked such a question or made such a statement, the digital personal assistant provides a response thereto by displaying or playing back a multimedia object associated with a popular culture reference within or by a user interface of the digital personal assistant. Additionally or alternatively, in response to determining that the user has asked such a question or made such a statement, the digital personal assistant provides the response thereto by generating or playing back speech that comprises an impersonation of a voice of a person associated with the popular culture reference.
