A WebAssistant is a computer-supported function on the web that extends the possibilities of a user.

Usually it involves an interactive application, through which the user can perform a certain task. Examples of such tasks include:

• the creation of template-based webpages
• the creation of online slideshows
• personal or collective information processing

WebAssistants can also be a reaction to the growing complexity of the web and aim to assist the user in making things easier for him. Such WebAssistants enable users to

• browse offline
• contextualize pieces of information into various webbased products such as WebDatabases, WebDesks, WebPresentations, WebWorkspaces etc.
