Behavioral analysis for smart agents
A system and computer-readable storage medium perform a method for contextual inferring capacity for triggering a financial transaction by monitoring, via user device(s), objective contextual data of location, temporal, and volitional transaction information associated with an authorized user of a financial system. Subjective contextual data of personal calendar events, physiological data, and pacing of user interactions with the user device(s) is monitored. The objective and subjective contextual data is analyzed to create scenario(s) correlated with performing a volitional transaction. If not predictive a volitional transaction, a layer of security protocol is added for authentication prior to executing the volitional transaction. In response to determining that the current context is predictive of a volitional transaction, a determination is made whether the subjective contextual data satisfies criterion for incapacity to perform a volitional transaction. In response to determining incapacity to perform the volitional transaction, access to the financial system is limited.

determining, by the one or more computing devices, capacity of the user based on current contextual data when the likelihood meets the predetermined threshold; and
controlling, by the one or more computing devices, execution of the requested transaction based on the capacity, wherein the execution is at least limited when the user is deemed incapacitated and otherwise permitted, wherein controlling the execution of the requested transaction comprises:

control, by the one or more processors, execution of the requested transaction based on the capacity, wherein the execution is at least limited when the user is deemed incapacitated and otherwise permitted, wherein controlling the execution of the requested transaction comprises:
presenting, on a user interface of a computing device of the user, an execution of a financial transaction; and
placing for a period of time, by the one or more processors, a provisional hold on completion of the financial transaction.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to block an advertisement that is correlated with causing emotional agitation to the user.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to present an advertisement that is correlated with soothing emotional agitation.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine that the subjective contextual data satisfies a third-party criterion corresponding to a third party who is at least one of: verbally interacting with the user or maintaining close proximity to the user.
17. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program code that when executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to:
