We present a pragmatic and practical approach to adapting voice assistant personality. We asked users to take the voice assistant's perspective and write their "ideal" voice assistant-user dialogue in different scenarios in an automotive context. Our results indicate individual differences in participants' preference for social or purely functional conversations with the voice assistant.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2nd Conference on Conversational User Interfaces}, articleno = {53}, numpages = {4}, keywords = {personality, personalisation, Conversational agents}, location = {Bilbao, Spain}, series = {CUI '20} }
