AI-Driven Personalized Assistants

Dear Colleagues,

AI-driven personalized assistants are innovative digital companions that leverage artificial intelligence to provide tailored support and enhance the user experience. These assistants are designed to understand and adapt to individual needs, preferences, and behaviors, offering customized assistance across various domains. Using advanced algorithms, machine learning, and natural language processing, personalized assistants analyze vast amounts of data to learn about users' preferences, habits, and goals. They can thenn proactively anticipate user needs and provide relevant, timely information, recommendations, and suggestions. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we aim to collect novel ideas on how AI is explored in supporting several areas, such as healthcare, nutrition, personalized learning, customer service, and support, among others.

Submissions to this Special Issue should contribute to advancing the understanding, development, or application of personalized assistants in various domains.
