Virtual Assistant
Virtual assistant (VA) refers to an AI-powered software application designed to understand natural language inputs and assist users by performing tasks, answering questions, or providing information. VAs use technologies like natural language processing, machine learning, and speech recognition to interpret commands and deliver contextual, conversational responses. Common examples include scheduling meetings, retrieving data, sending reminders or assisting with customer service. VAs can be deployed via voice or chat interfaces and are used across personal, business, and enterprise environments to improve efficiency, user experience, and task automation.
