Abstract

An electronic device can receive user input via voice or text that includes tasks to be performed. A digital personal assistant infrastructure service can control to which registered action provider the task is assigned. Per-task action provider preferences can be stored. If a preferred action provider is not able to complete the task, the task can still be performed by a registered action provider that has appropriate capabilities. Machine learning can determine a user's preferences. Resource conservation and effective user interaction can result.
