Abstract: In some examples, a user, either a customer or potential customer of a business, engages in conversations with a virtual assistant (VA) provided by the business. The virtual assistant (VA) is further supported by one or more human assistants (HA), if needed. In embodiments, to facilitate seamless transitions between a VA and a HA, when needed, an intelligent decision maker (IDM) is provided. The IDM receives a user question and a proposed answer to the question from a VA, evaluates the proposed answer in the context of the conversation, and determines if the proposed answer requires further review by an HA. In response to a determination that the proposed answer requires further review, the IDM sends the proposed answer to an HA, and, in response to an indication by the HA, takes further action in the conversation.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes detecting, using a processor system, a first delay in a conversation system. Initial contextual data is received at a first orchestration layer of the processor system, where the initial contextual data describes a context of a user. The first orchestration layer queries a first data source, based on the initial contextual data. Based on querying the first data source, the first orchestration layer augments the initial contextual data to determine updated contextual data describing the context of the user. Filler content personalized to the user is generated based on the updated contextual data describing the context of the user. The filler content is presented through a user interface during the first delay, responsive to detecting the first delay in the conversation system.
