  • Publication number: 20120259826
    Abstract: Customizable interfacing agents, systems, and methods are provided. In one embodiment, a method for interfacing a user to service providers includes receiving a set of user attributes associated, with a user to form a user profile, receiving a request for data from the user, and sending the request to one or more service providers. The method also includes receiving response data from the one or more service providers in response to sending the request to the one or more service providers. The method also includes filtering the response data from the one or more service providers using the user profile to form user-customized response data, and presenting the user-customized response data to the user.
