  • Semantic interpreter for natural language commanding in applications via program synthesis
    Patent number: 12554938
    Abstract: A data processing system implements receiving a natural language query from a client device, the query including a textual description of one or more actions to be performed using an application on the client device, generating a prompt for a large language model (LLM) based on the natural language query; providing the prompt to the LLM to obtain program code, which when executed, causes the application to perform the one or more actions, the first program code being implemented in a domain specific language (DSL) designed to facilitate program synthesis via the LLM; analyzing a syntax of the first program code to identify syntax errors in the first program code; correcting the syntax errors in the program code to generate corrected program code; and causing the client device to execute the program code to perform the one or more actions in the application on the client device.
