An Intelligent Soar Assistant for a Virtual World
Abe Guerra has built an assistant for IBM's virtual world. His agent uses Soar to reason about what a user needs and guides the user through the virtual world. The assistant interacts with the user through typed natural language commands, and can also assist with commands for using the virtual world interface.
Here is an introductory paper on his project. There is also a movie of his agent navigating and a movie of his agent assisting a customer.
