1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining a curiosity of a user based on data received from an electronic device associated with the user, wherein the data includes audible speech captured from the user and one or more facial expressions of the user;
determining a grade of curiosity based on the data received from the electronic device associated with the user;
identifying a first wavelength for the audible speech from the user to initiate a command detection mode based on a plurality of wavelengths associated with a user profile for the user;
identifying a topic for the audible speech from the user;
responsive to determining an intelligent virtual assistant is an intended recipient based on the topic, suspending an activation word for the intelligent virtual assistant;
determining a search depth score for a command performable by the intelligent virtual assistant within the audible speech of the user; and
responsive to sending the search depth score for the command performable by the intelligent virtual assistant to a backend search engine, providing a response time for executing the command performable by the intelligent virtual assistant to the user based on the search depth score.
