This invention describes a system where multiple virtual assistants, each with unique characteristics like personality or function, can work together. These assistants can communicate with each other, even across different computing devices, to complete tasks for a user. Their interactions are designed to mimic natural human conversation. The claims specifically highlight this communication between assistants on separate computing devices.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption and advanced capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). The core idea of virtual assistants with distinct personalities and the ability to converse and collaborate, especially across devices, is now far more achievable and powerful due to the significant advancements in LLM technology and agentic AI frameworks since 2018.
