A method for automatically detecting and processing a computer input event comprising one or more intents is provided. The method may include, in response to receiving the computer input event, automatically generating a parse tree comprising nodes including a possible interpretation of the received computer input event and at least one determined intent. The method may further include performing a confidence evaluation for the nodes and receiving one or more first scores from one or more computer agents for a respective node to indicate an ability of a respective computer agent to process the respective node. The method may further include, determining a second score for the respective node by aggregating the one or more first scores from the one or more computer agents for the respective node. The method may further include, based on the determined second score, selecting a node for processing the received computer input event.
