Cognitive agent
First Claim
1. A method performed by a computing device for automatically providing requested information to supplement other activities performed at a same time, comprising:
- receiving a request for one or more actions to be performed without user intervention;
the computing device performing at least one action and evaluating results of the action;
determining a user environment before the results are presented; and
displaying the results of the action to a user, wherein the at least one action is performed while the user is performing another action, and wherein a presentation of the results is modified based on the user environment.

Abstract
Aspects relate to a cognitive agent that performs functions associated with a desired result. The functions performed by cognitive agent supplement other activities performed at a same time. In such a manner, the cognitive agent can function as a surrogate for a user. A performed activity can trigger implementation of another activity that is an extension of the performed activity. Cognitive agent can perform functions that can be represented as an avatar. Further, cognitive agent can be associated with a diagnostics component that evaluates an operating condition. Based on the operating condition cognitive agent can implement automatic actions associated with mitigating failures and/or prolonging the life of machinery.

9. A system that facilitates automatic implementation of actions, comprising:
-
a receiver component that accepts a request for one or more actions to be performed without user intervention; a cognitive agent component that automatically performs at least one action and evaluates the results of the action; a context component that evaluates a user environment before the results are presented; and an output component that presents the results of the action to a user, wherein the at least one action is performed while the user is performing another action and wherein a presentation of the results is modified based on the user environment. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable memory device storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, perform a method for automatically providing requested information to supplement other activities performed at a same time, the method comprising:
-
inferring a request to perform an action without user intervention, the request being inferred from a user-initiated activity; generating results of the action while the user-initiated action is performed; determining a user environment before the results are presented; and displaying the results of the action, wherein a presentation of the results is modified based on the user environment. - View Dependent Claims (17)
