Abstract: Systems and methods for permitting consumers to send messages to a trusted agent or agents, causing the trusted agent or agents to decipher the messages and send the messages to the appropriate provider(s,) causing the trusted agent or agents to receive a responsive informational or transactional message from the provider(s) and causes the trusted agent or agents to route the provider's messages to the consumer or otherwise communicating to the consumer as a result of or relative to the provider. The system functions independently and automatically, such that new offerings of goods and/or services can be searched for and located by, or otherwise brought to the attention of, the trusted agent and conveyed to the consumer, all based on profile data provided by the consumer to the trusted agent or agents and transactional data gathered by the trusted agent about potential goods, services or information filling the needs of the consumer.
