SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL ASSISTANT GENERATION FOR ASSEMBLAGES

Methods for interactive virtual assistant generation for assemblages are performed by systems and devices. Representations of existing assembly manuals of assemblages are received by a host service. The representations are received from users in the form of captured images and retrieved from websites of assemblage suppliers. The host service extracts information from representations including text and illustrations, and generates instructions including a first set of assembly instructions from the information and an instruction model, and a second set of prompt-response instructions from the information and a language model. The host service generates interactive smart manuals of assemblages using the first and second sets. Interactive smart manuals may be instances of virtual digital assistants specific to the assemblage. A user executes an interactive smart manual via a user interface (UI) and provides natural language prompts via the UI causing navigation through the manual.
