Abstract: Conversations can be generated automatically based on any given persona. The conversations can be produced by a language generation model that automatically generates persona-based language in response to a message, wherein a persona identifies a type of person with role specific characteristics. After a language generation model is acquired, for example by identifying a predefined model or generating a new model, the language generation model can be provisioned for use by a conversational agent, such as a chatbot, to enhance the functionality of the conversational agent.
