Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- responsive to a recipient at a computing device selecting an embedded avatar in a first electronic communication sent by a sender, providing an interface through which the recipient interacts to submit a query via the avatar;
- receiving the query via a communication protocol;
- parsing and analyzing the received query;
- retrieving an answer corresponding to the parsed and analyzed query from electronic communications sent or received by the sender;
- sending the answer to the second computing device;
- and
- initiating display of the answer via the avatar on the second computing device.
