Abstract
An intelligent assistant can be used to facilitate an end user's participation in a virtual meeting. The intelligent assistant can receive recognized speech from a speech recognition engine, and then forward the recognized speech to a natural language understanding engine which in turn ascribes a meaning to the recognized speech. The ascribed meaning can include a semantic representation of the recognized speech and thereby a semantic representation of voice commands enshrined within the recognized speech. Using the ascribed meaning, the intelligent assistant then searches for meeting information associated with the virtual meeting and uses that meeting information to join the end user to the virtual meeting. Meeting information can include a conference call number, a participant code, a moderator code or a link to an online meeting.
