A method of automated inquiry response includes forming clusters that represent a meaning. The method includes assigning a level of sophistication to the clusters and generating sub-clusters within the clusters that represent a sentiment or a level of sophistication. The method includes assigning responses to the sub-clusters that address the meaning of the cluster and are modified based on the sentiment or a level of sophistication. The method includes computing a substantive issue, a sentiment, and a level of sophistication of a received inquiry. The method includes identifying clusters to which the inquiry pertains and generating an order of the identified clusters based on the assigned level of sophistication. The method includes crowdsourcing a comparison of the substantive issue of the inquiry to meanings of the identified clusters. The method includes offering a response associated with one of the identified clusters and with the sub-cluster for the identified sentiment.
