Abstract

A computer-based virtual assistant (100) the behaviour of which can be changed by the user. The virtual assistant comprises a voice user interface for inputing information into and receiving information from the virtual assistant by speech (110), communications network (104), and a virtual assistant application running on a remote computer. The remote computer is electronically coupled to the user interface via the communications network. The virtual assistant changes behaviour responsive to user input. The virtual assistant also automatically adapts its behavior.
