Abstract
Systems, methods and/or computer program products personalizing user interactions with virtual agents of applications and/or services, using audio/visual components customized to appeal to user preferences. Upon initial interaction with virtual agents, AI ranking algorithms are triggered to adopt the highest ranked persona for the virtual agent based on previous positive interactions with the user, learned preferences, the user's state inferred from facial expressions, body language, tone. Personas can emulate voice signatures of popular characters, actors, celebrities and sports figures, and access a corpus of dialogue of the available personas to learn unique speech patterns, slang, tone, grammar, speed, and vocabulary. The corpus that comprises various personas of real and/or fictional individuals can include data of the mannerisms and visual likeness of the various characters and people, allowing avatars depicting the virtual agents to be animated in the likeness of the selected persona in real-time during conversational workflows.
