1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores instructions; and
a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving, by a computing device from a user, a selection of an artificially-intelligent virtual assistant (AIVA) among a plurality of AIVAs to perform actions on behalf of the user,
facilitating, with an observation learning and reasoning module (OLRM), actions and functionality of the AIVA,
wherein the AIVA is associated with at least one personal shopper of a plurality of personal shoppers for a user and is represented by a digital avatar having a persona that includes characteristics that set ranges for parameters for controlling the actions of the AIVA facilitated by the OLRM, and wherein the plurality of AIVAs perform different actions based on the persona of the corresponding digital avatar and the parameters of the corresponding OLRM,
performing, by utilizing the AIVA represented by the digital avatar, the actions associated with the personal shopper on behalf of the user,
determining, after the actions are performed, a metric corresponding to a performance of the AIVA represented by the digital avatar, and
modifying, based on the metric corresponding to the performance of the AIVA, parameters of the OLRM so as to adjust future actions performed by the AIVA on behalf of the user, wherein modifying the parameters of the OLRM comprises modifying parameters associated with: selecting a data source for obtaining information for implementing a modified version of the personal shopper.
