In this paper we present two prototypes of 3D based virtual agents: one chatbot which in addition to the ability to hold a conversation can perform translation from English into Spanish, Russian, and French; and another which supplies currency conversion (lats to euro and euro to lats) in the Latvian language. Both chatbots are voice controlled, with natural mimicry and representations of human-like emotions. We describe the motivation, development process, design and architecture of these mobile applications. The evaluation of both applications and their usage in selected scenarios is also presented.
