Abstract:
Techniques for utilizing a virtual agent for the retrieval and analysis of information are described. A virtual agent device initiates an interactive communication session with a user. As part of the interactive communication session, the virtual agent device receives a query from the user. The virtual agent device generates a response to the query based on a fact set from which the computing device obtains data for the response, a global rule set, and a local rule set. The virtual agent device applies the global rule set and the local rule set to the data to refine the response according to a context of the interactive communication session. The virtual agent device outputs the response that includes the refinements made according to the global and local rule sets, such as a natural language output via a speaker of the virtual agent device.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method comprising:\n initiating an interactive communication session between a user and a computing device; receiving a query from the user as part of the interactive communication session; generating a response to the query, the response to the query based on:\n a fact set from which the computing device obtains data for the response; \n a global rule set that the computing device applies to the data to refine the response according to a context of the interactive communication session, the global rule set being publicly accessible; and \n a local rule set that the computing device applies to the data to refine the response according to the context of the interactive communication session, the local rule set comprising rules specific to the fact set; and \n outputting the response to the query.
