Abstract
Techniques for configuring device-specific skills as top-level skills are described. When a system receives a user input the system performs NLU processing to determine an intent of the user input. In some instances, the system may identify a device-specific skill associated with the device interacted with by the user. At least partially in parallel to performing NLU processing to determine the intent of the user input, the system may also perform NLU processing to determine a likelihood that the user input corresponds to an intent actionable by the device-specific skill. Once the system has finished NLU processing, the system may implement one or more prioritization rules to determine whether the user input should be sent to the device-specific skill or another skill of the system.
