Microsoft Agent is a set of programmable software services that enable application developers and Web builders to incorporate new forms of user interaction within the Microsoft Windows interface. This Developer's Kit includes version 2.0 of Microsoft Agent and all the necessary documentation developers need to exploit the newest capabilities of this user-interface technology. You can use this valuable cache of tools and techniques to create interactive animation, such as online "assistants" that guide users through tasks or provide entertainment value, and conversational interfaces that can respond to either verbal or keyboard commands with synthesized speech, recorded audio, or text in a cartoon word balloon.
