A method, performed by at least one computer, the method comprising using the at least one computer to perform acts of accessing information specifying at least one user-specified condition specified by a user and at least one corresponding user-specified action, the user-specified action to be performed when the user-specified condition is met; determining whether the at least one user-specified condition is met; and when it is determined that the at least one user-specified condition is met, causing a virtual assistant executing on a mobile device different from the at least one computer to perform the at least one user-specified action.

Systems and methods for providing a virtual assistant

A system comprising at least one processor configured to perform: receiving a first request to access a first user profile of a first user from a first device configured to execute a first virtual assistant to interact with the first user; in response to receiving the first request, providing the first device with access to information in the first user profile so that the first virtual assistant is able to customize, based on the accessed information, its behavior when interacting with the first user; receiving a second request to access the first user profile from a second device configured to execute a second virtual assistant to interact with the first user; and in response to receiving the second request, providing the second device with access to the information so that the second virtual assistant is able to customize, based on the accessed information, its behavior when interacting with the first user.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for implementing at least one virtual agent. In some embodiments, the at least one virtual agent is programmed to analyze first information regarding a first person; analyze second information regarding a second person different from the first person; and make a joint recommendation for a plurality of persons based at least in part on the first and second information, wherein the plurality of persons comprises the first person and the second person.

Systems and methods for virtual agent recommendation for multiple persons

Systems, methods, and apparatus for use in connection with at least one virtual agent. In some embodiments, at least one virtual agent is programmed to: identify a relationship between at least two persons; and make a recommendation for the at least two persons based at least in part on the relationship between the at least two persons.

Systems and methods for informing virtual agent recommendation

Systems, methods, and apparatus for use in connection with at least one virtual agent. In some embodiments, at least one processor is programmed to use a record of a multiparty conversation to provide input to the at least one virtual agent.

Systems and methods for providing input to virtual agent

A mobile device comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium configured to store user profile information of a user of the mobile device; and at least one processor, coupled to the at least one computer-readable storage medium, configured to perform an act of: providing a second device, which is configured to execute a first virtual assistant, with access to at least some of the user profile information so that the first virtual assistant is able to customize, based on the at least some user profile information, its behavior when interacting with the user.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for use with at least one first virtual agent executing on a first device. In some embodiments, the at least one first virtual agent is programmed to: share information with at least one second virtual agent executing on at least one second device different from the first device, wherein the at least one first virtual agent is associated with a first user and the at least one second virtual agent is associate with a second user; and use the information shared between the at least one first virtual agent and the at least one second virtual agent to make a joint recommendation for the first and second users.

Systems and methods for sharing information between virtual agents

Systems, methods, and apparatus for use with at least one virtual agent. In some embodiments, at least one processor is programmed to store a receipt for an interaction between the at least one virtual agent and one or more users, wherein the receipt comprises at least some information provided by the one or more users to the at least one virtual agent during the interaction.

Systems and methods for storing record of virtual agent interaction

Systems, methods, and apparatus for use in connection with at least one virtual agent. In some embodiments, at least one processor is programmed to present the at least one virtual agent as a participant in a multiparty conversation taking place via a messaging application.
