Personalized digital meeting agent

A digital agent is pre-trained to be a digital proxy for a user. Taking on the persona (e.g., personality, mannerisms, preferences, knowledge, and in some cases, a realistic visual appearance and voice of the human), the digital agent can effectively act on behalf of the human. During a virtual meeting, the pre-trained digital agent can listen to what the team has to say, ask clarifying questions, answer questions on the human's behalf, and raise points the human would want the team to consider. Since the digital agent visually resembles, sounds like, and acts like the human, the digital agent appears much like other remote participants, thereby improving the meeting experience of the other attendees and facilitating meeting productivity in the absence of a human team member.
