  • Data processing in a multi-assistant system
    Patent number: 12254879
    Abstract: Techniques for enabling access in a multi-assistant speech processing system are described, where a first assistant system may use components of a second assistant system as data processing components. Runtime operational data and user input data related to the first assistant may be kept separate from the processing data and input data related to the second assistant by propagating a first account ID, for user inputs directed to the first assistant, through the processing pipeline, and using a second account for user inputs directed to the second assistant. A mapping between the first account ID and the second account ID may be accessible to a select number of system components. Handoffs between the two assistants are handled in a manner where data related to one assistant is not accessible by the other assistant.
