A system and method for generating a virtual assistant is disclosed. The system for generating a virtual assistant includes a configuration subsystem configured to receive one or more parameters from a document. The configuration subsystem is also configured to serialize the one or more parameters automatically extracted from the document and generate a structured object based on the one or more serialized parameters. The configuration unit is further configured to embed all validation criteria specified in the document. The system for generating a virtual assistant also includes a virtual assistant generator operatively coupled with the configuration subsystem and configured to analyse the structured object. The virtual assistant generator is also configured to automatically generate a virtual assistant based on an analysed structured object.
