Techniques for determining a device(s) to output content are described. A primary device may receive a user input. Skill component configuration data may be determined, where the skill component configuration data indicates at least one display capability for outputting visual content of the skill component. Based on the skill configuration data, it may be determined that a secondary device is usable to present the visual content of the skill component. The skill component may provide a response to the user input, where the response includes: (i) a first portion to be output using at least one speaker; and (ii) a second portion to be output using a display. The primary device may be used to present the first portion of the response as audio and the secondary device may be used to present the second portion of the response as displayed content.

Device selection for outputting content

Techniques for providing device functionalities using device components are described. A system receives a system-generated directive from a skill system and determines a workflow to execute. The system implements a response orchestrator that operates based on the workflow that includes interception points where cross-cutting functionalities can be invoked as pluggable components. The interception points occur pre-system-generated directive, pre-device-facing directive, post-device-facing directive generation, post-device-facing directive dispatch, and the like. The system supports asynchronous execution, conditional execution, and sequential execution of components. Data determined by the cross functionality components can be used by other components for processing.
