Virtual Avatar

 Suman – Kristie,

 

 

About a year back , I came across a news report about a patent granted to Microsoft , titled :

 

“  Creating a Conversational Chatbot of a specific person “  /  Patent No : 10853717 B2

 

 

( Inventors : Joseph Johnson and Dustin Abramson )

 

I found e-mail id of one of the inventors , who is no longer working with MS ( now, I cannot remember who – and sent him an e-mail , which I cannot locate in my Outlook ) and wrote to him , if he can help me create my virtual avatar

 

He replied saying ( in essence ) :

 

“  I don’t think MS is really interested in pursuing this but you may want to write to Satya Nadella for help “

 

That I did ( see this :  https://emailothers.blogspot.com/2021/12/e-mail-to-satya-nadela.html#.Yb1r_WhByUk )

 

I never got any reply

 

For an explanation of that patent, you may want to look up :
