Abstract Considering that anthropo centric systems are an adequate domain for captological approaches, and that interface agents are most natural interactants for the humans involved, the paper presents a broad-spectrum generic architectural framework to support developing flexible interfaces for industrial applications, based on synergetic correlation between persuasive technologies and polymorphic agents. The design space for agent-oriented captology is defined and several of its main dimensions are elaborated upon. The main mechanisms used are dynamic priorities, "flexible cloning" and fuzzy temporal windows. Some agent-oriented test-bench applications instantiating the generic architecture, arc described briefly.
