Abstract

Computer technology that receives a query and a desired level of precision and/or accuracy (herein, a 'p/a value') associated with the received query, determines whether the p/a value exceeds a predetermined threshold, if the p/a value exceeds the predetermined threshold, then the virtual assistant system applies digital twin simulation to a digital twin data set in determining the query response to improve precision and/or accuracy of the query response, and outputs the query response to the querying party (for example, output as sound data in a voice assistant system). If the p/a value is below the threshold value, then the digital twin simulation is not performed, which makes the response quicker and puts less computational power demands on the virtual assistant system. In some embodiments, the virtual assistant system calculates the p/a value based on context.
