Abstract

A virtual assistant AI system that may be connected to a wide variety of user accounts such as financial accounts, social media, news, shopping, utilities and service providers, travel accounts, and other account types. The AI then continually monitors connected accounts for changes, analyzes changes when they occur and identifies any relationships or interactions between accounts and potential or actual implications of changes, and generates proactive notifications and provides them to the user who may then further investigate using virtual assistant AI clients.

Claims

1. A system for providing real-time multidevice messages to a user, comprising:

a first computing device comprising a memory, a processor, an audio input component, an audio output component, a wireless network interface, and a plurality of programming instructions operating in the memory and on the processor, the programming instructions configured to;

receive a verbal query from a user via the audio input device;

transmit the verbal query via a wireless network using the wireless network interface to a virtual assistant platform;

receive a query response message from the virtual assistant platform and provide the query response message to the user using the audio output device;

receiving a verbal instruction from the user to provide information visually; and

transmitting the verbal instruction to the virtual assistant platform; and

a second computing device comprising a memory, a processor, a display, an input means, a network interface, and a plurality of programming instructions operating in the memory and on the processor, the programming instructions configured to;

receive a data message from the virtual assistant platform via a network, the data message based at least in part on the verbal instruction from the user;

displaying graphically at least a portion of data from the received data message on the display;

receiving a user interaction event pertaining to the displayed data based on use of the input means; and

transmitting a message to the virtual assistant platform via the network based on the user interaction event.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the virtual assistant platform comprises a plurality of software APIs, wherein at least a portion of query response comprises information retrieved from a plurality of external data sources via the plurality of APIs.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein at least a portion of the information retrieved from a plurality of external data sources comprises at least financial information.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the financial information comprises historical investment data.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein at least a portion of the information retrieved from a plurality of external data sources comprises at least user behavior data.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the query response comprises a recommendation based at least in part on at least a portion of the user behavior data.

7. A method for providing real-time multidevice messages to a user, comprising the steps of:

receiving, at a first computing device comprising a memory, a processor, an audio input component, an audio output component, a wireless network interface, and a plurality of programming instructions operating in the memory and on the processor, a verbal query from a user via the audio input device;

transmitting the verbal query via a wireless network using the wireless network interface to a virtual assistant platform;

receiving a query response message from the virtual assistant platform and provide the query response message to the user using the audio output device;

receiving a verbal instruction from the user to provide information visually;

transmitting the verbal instruction to the virtual assistant platform;

receiving, at a second computing device comprising a memory, a processor, a display, an input means, a network interface, and a plurality of programming instructions operating in the memory and on the processor, a data message from the virtual assistant platform via a network, the data message based at least in part on the verbal instruction from the user;

displaying graphically at least a portion of data from the received data message on the display;

receiving a user interaction event pertaining to the displayed data based on use of the input means; and

transmitting a message to the virtual assistant platform via the network based on the user interaction event.
