Abstract: An approach for the task-oriented user guidance is provided. The approach comprises receiving a query from a user to accomplish a task utilizing an application. The approach comprises determining one or more related pages of the application, wherein one or more keywords of the one or more related pages of the application match with one or more keywords of the query. The approach further comprises determining possible paths passing the one or more related pages of the application based on page relationship of the application. The approach further comprises determining one or more paths from the possible paths according to weights of the paths. The approach further comprises presenting the one or more paths to the user. The keywords of the page, the page relationship and the weights of the paths are determined based on page information of the application.
