Abstract: Considerable advancements have been made in the quickly developing world of technology, particularly in the area of
artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications. Natural language processing, or NLP, is one such application that allows for
natural language communication between humans and computers, as demonstrated by voice assistants. These assistants, such as
the proposed Personal AI Assistant (PAA), are designed to make daily tasks easier by reacting to voice requests and offering
services, entertainment, and information. PAA touts capabilities including real-time updates, voice activation, and access to
internet resources. Device management, note-taking features, and Wikipedia and Google.
Personal assistants (IPAs) such as PAAs, also known as intelligent virtual assistants (IVAs), can carry out tasks in response to
user requests or instructions. They can occasionally be contacted via voice or web chat. They are capable of handling a variety of
duties, including media playback, home automation, and the management of email, to-do lists, and calendars.

Keywords: Virtual assistant, Python, artificial intelligence, Personal assistant.

• Artificial Intelligence: Artificial intelligence is a subfield

of computer science whose main objective is to build
intelligent machines that will carry out human-performed
