rendering and generating an interactive avatar of a subject person using information from a data collection associated with the subject person stored in an avatar database, wherein the data collection associated with the subject person includes one or more of: audio data of the subject person speaking, image data of the subject person, video data including recordings of the subject person, and text data written or generated by the subject person;

providing an avatar interface that allows the interactive avatar of the subject person to interact with one or more users of a plurality of users via a first communication format;

engaging in a first interactive session between a first interactive avatar of the subject person and a first user of the plurality of users via a second communication format that is different than the first communication format, wherein an artificial intelligence engine provides instructions to control the first interactive avatar of the subject person to engage in the first interactive session, and wherein the artificial intelligence engine uses the data collection associated with the subject person in the avatar database to generate one or more responses from the first interactive avatar of the subject person to the first user during the first interactive session;

engaging in a second interactive session between a second interactive avatar of the subject person and a second user of the plurality of users via the second communication format, the second interactive session being separate from the first interactive session, wherein the artificial intelligence engine provides instructions to control the second interactive avatar of the subject person to engage in the second interactive session, wherein the artificial intelligence engine uses the data collection associated with the subject person in the avatar database to generate one or more responses from the second interactive avatar of the subject person to the second user during the second interactive session, wherein the first interactive avatar and the second interactive avatar are of the same subject person and wherein the second interactive session and the first interactive session are at least partially occurring at a same time;

storing interaction data in a user file for the first user, wherein the interaction data includes information between the first interactive avatar of the subject person and the first user captured from the first interactive session; and

upon receiving, from the first user, a subsequent request to initiate a next interactive session between the interactive avatar of the subject person at a time after the first interactive session, retrieving information from interaction data in the user file for the first user and using the retrieved information from the interaction data to personalize the next interactive session.
