Abstract:
At present, most of the people not literate to
carry out complex activities using computers. Hence to
overcome this situation an intelligent personal assistant
was introduced which has the capability of performing
complex tasks on behalf of the user through the voice or
text-based communication. These assistants make use of
Artificial Intelligence techniques which are trending
and evolving area in the aspect of Information
Technology to address the difficulties that individuals
face when using high tech devices with the aim of
helping the growth of the use of new technology with no
discrimination. Many such assistants have been
developed so far using different technologies. We
present such an assistant developed using multi-agent
technology which can be considered as a promising
technology when considering using on smart devices
due to its robust and scalable nature. Thus, the
developed system uses multi-agent technology for interprocess
communication, Sphinx for voice recognition
and the entire multi-agent system is developed with
MaSMT framework including Manager agent and
seven ordinary agents.
