Nonverbal communication is used when determining an action to perform in response to received user input. The received input includes direct input (e.g. speech, text, gestures) and indirect input (e.g. nonverbal communication). The nonverbal communication includes cues such as body language, facial expressions, breathing rate, heart rate, well as vocal cues (e.g. prosodic and acoustic cues) and the like. Different nonverbal communication cues are monitored such that performed actions are personalized. A direct input specifying an action to perform (e.g. “perform action 1”) may be adjusted based on one or more indirect inputs (e.g. nonverbal cues) received. Another action may also be performed in response to the indirect inputs. A profile may be associated with the user such that the responses provided by the system are determined using nonverbal cues that are associated with the user.
