Provide at least three examples of an intelligent agent.

What will be an ideal response?

• A personalized web search engine that allows you to profile items of interest to you and then automatically delivers appropriate information from the web. For example, you may request updated weather conditions for your geographic area, along with news items related to sports and European trade. At periodic time intervals, this push technology downloads your updated, personalized information to your screen (or cell phone) to be displayed whenever no other task is active.• A more intelligent version of this personalized web searcher that enables you to rate each article it sends you and then dynamically adjusts what it sends in the future as it learns about your preferences.• An even more intelligent search agent that not only narrows down choices from topics you have chosen but can suggest new, related topics for you to explore. This is accomplished by having your agent communicate with similar agents on the web, even when you are not online. If your agent knows of your interest in French cuisine, for example, it communicates with other agents to find those that represent users with the same interest. It may learn from these agents that many of their users are also interested in Cajun cooking. Your agent then judges whether these suggestions are coming from agents whose recommendations on the whole have been well received by you in the past. If so, it asks whether you also want information about Cajun cooking. If you do not agree to this proposal, your agent notes what agents made that suggestion and, on the next pass, gives less consideration to their ideas. The more agents that participate, the more accurate each one becomes at "understanding" the interests of its user.• An online catalog sales company that uses an agent to monitor incoming orders and make suggestions. For example, a customer who orders a camera may be presented with a list of related accessories for sale, such as tripods and lens filters.• A manufacturing plant that uses an intelligent agent to negotiate with suppliers on the price and scheduling of parts delivery to maximize efficiency of production.
