The text-based intelligent virtual assistant (IVA) market refers to the segment of artificial intelligence (AI) technology focused on providing conversational interactions through text-based interfaces. IVAs are designed to understand natural language inputs and respond intelligently, simulating human-like conversations to assist users with various tasks and inquiries. These virtual assistants can be integrated into applications, websites, messaging platforms, and other digital interfaces to offer personalized assistance, answer questions, execute commands, and perform automated tasks. They leverage technologies such as natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), and deep learning to continuously improve their ability to understand and generate human-like text responses.

Thermal Imaging is a method of using infrared radiation and thermal energy to collect information regarding the objects, aiming to develop images of them, even in low visibility environments. It's a type of technology that has conglomerated a broad range of uses across the years.
