Abstract

Methods and systems for implementing and supporting an autonomous software agent that assists the user during a web browsing or navigation session on a computer network are disclosed. The computer network includes at least one client computer associated with one or more users, at least one server associated with a provider of goods, services or information, and at least one browsing agent server associated with an autonomous browsing agent. The method of the present invention comprises (a) monitoring, at the client computer, a click stream; (b) transmitting click stream data to the browsing agent server, the click stream data being derived from the click stream; (c) receiving control data corresponding to the click stream data; (d) offering a command option to the user, the command option based on the control data; and (e) performing the command option, if the user selects it.
