Abstract
Techniques for an application interaction platform are described. In at least some implementations, an instance of a first application can initiate a launch of an instance of a second application. In a scenario where the second application is a multiuser application, the second application can be launched as either a multiuser instance or a single user instance depending on a launch context. Implementations also enable communication among applications, such as to enable applications to exchange state information and modify their execution based on the information.
