Agent is a programmable set
of services using ActiveX technology. Microsoft refers to this as, conversational
interfaces, that leverages natural aspects of human social communication. In
other words, it is possible to use characters as interactive assistants to introduce,
guide, entertain, or otherwise enhance Web pages or applications in addition to the
conventional use of windows, menus, and controls.
What I have done here was purely for fun. But the possibilities of using this
technology affects many more important areas of our lives. Agent can be used in
computer assisted instruction and in assisting the blind, to name just a couple.
Its' uses are limited only by our own creativeness.
If you would like to install MS Agent on your computer, I have a link to the MS Agent download - click on the "Get Microsoft Agent" icon. I have also placed a link to the MS Agent Homepage below. There are already many other websites that are putting this technology to use in even better ways than I have done here.
