Data routing in a multi-assistant context

Abstract

Techniques for routing data, in a system including multiple assistants, are described. A user device may store configuration data for a virtual assistant, where the configuration data includes a virtual assistant identifier, one or more resource identifiers, and optionally a virtual assistant name. A resource identifier may correspond to a virtual assistant component implemented by the user device, or a virtual assistant component(s) in communication with the user device. Based on the user device storing the configuration data, the user device may send virtual assistant data to at least one system component, where the virtual assistant data corresponds to each virtual assistant implemented at least partially by the first user device, and the virtual assistant data includes the configuration data. When the user device receives event data associated with a virtual assistant identifier, the user device may use stored configuration data to determine a resource identifier(s) associated with the virtual assistant identifier, associated with the event data. The user device may thereafter send the event data to the component and/or device(s) corresponding to the determined resource identifier(s).
