From general magic's recent white paper EBAY example Agent: Hello this is your Auction Agent. I have a notification for you. Please say your pass code. Agent: Hi there. You have been outbid on an item in your eBay portfolio. Here it is: Antique radio from 1923. Highest bid is 125 Dollars. Do you want to bid 130 Dollars? Principal: No, bid 150 Dollars. Agent: Did you say 150 Dollars? Principal: Yes. Agent: Just a moment while I place your bid at the eBay Web site. [on-hold music…] I successfully placed your bid. Is there anything else I can do for you? Principal: No thanks. Agent: Looking forward to hearing from you soon, bye. There is also an AMZN mention. Conclusion We have presented a quick overview of General Magic's ongoing effort to create a viable agent technology platform for the Internet. This platform is designed to function as “glue” between many services and media. The Auction Agent demonstrates an entirely new way of interacting with Internet services. Accessible via voice from any phone, the Auction Agent brings an entirely new meaning to the term ubiquitous Internet access. We believe that is an example of agent technology that will change the landscape of Internet services and e-commerce genmagic.com u will need adobe to view the file
