Abstract: Techniques for providing and implementing a single skill associated with custom functionality and system-provided functionality are described. The skill may be used to invoke functionality in response to a user input without requiring a user remember exact formulations to cause the functionality to be performed. The skill may be associated with more than one domain. For example, the skill may be associated with custom sample user inputs (corresponding to the custom functionality) that correspond to a custom domain while the skill may also be associated with system-provided sample user inputs (corresponding to the system-provided functionality) associated with a non-custom domain.

Abstract: Described are techniques for linking generating a skill-stored user profile, and linking same with a natural language processing (NLP) system-stored user profile. In at least some examples, a user may provide a natural language input to a NLP system. The NLP system may determine a skill is to process to perform an action responsive to the natural language input. To perform the action, the skill may require the user have a user profile stored by the skill, but the user may not have such a user profile. However, the NLP system may store a user profile for the user. The NLP system may determine the user profile stored thereby and may send, with user permission, information in the user profile to the skill. The skill may use the received information to generate and store a user profile for the user. Thereafter, the skill may provide the NLP system with a user profile identifier that the skill may use to identify the user's profile stored thereby.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods to build multi-tiered software applications with a high level of quality and complexity. One specific embodiment of the system includes a design application that guides a designer through a system design process, a generator application that generates and customizes a software solution tailored to the system design and an installation application that modularizes and automates the installation and configuration of the generated software solution.
