Abstract
An example method includes receiving, by a computational assistant executing at one or more processors, a representation of an utterance spoken at a computing device; identifying, based on the utterance, a task to be performed; determining a capability level of a first party (1P) agent to perform the task; determining capability levels of respective third party (3P) agents of a plurality of 3P agents to perform the task; responsive to determining that the capability level of the 1P agent does not satisfy a threshold capability level, that a capability level of a particular 3P agent of the plurality of 3P agents is a greatest of the determined capability levels, and that the capability level of the particular 3P agent satisfies the threshold capability level, selecting the particular 3P agent to perform the task; and performing one or more actions determined by the selected agent to perform the task.
