Abstract: Systems and processes for application integration with a digital assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory, receiving a natural-language user input; identifying, with the one or more processors, an intent object of a set of intent objects and a parameter associated with the intent, where the intent object and the parameter are derived from the natural-language user input. The method further includes identifying a software application associated with the intent object of the set of intent objects; and providing the intent object and the parameter to the software application.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating a virtual assistant programmed to refer to shared domain concepts using concept nodes are provided. In some examples, to process a textual representation of user speech using an active ontology having these concept nodes, a primary user intent can be determined from the textual representation of user speech. Concepts referred to by the primary user intent can be identified, and substrings of the textual representation of user speech corresponding to the concepts can be identified. Secondary user intents for the substrings can be determined and a task flow based on the primary user intent and the secondary user intents can be generated and performed.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating a virtual assistant programmed to refer to shared domain concepts using concept nodes are provided. An example process includes receiving a user speech input, determining a primary domain corresponding to a textual representation of the user speech input, identifying, from the textual representation, a first substring that corresponds to a first concept of the primary domain, parsing the first substring to determine a secondary domain of the plurality of domains, and based on the secondary domain, obtaining a data item corresponding to the first substring. In accordance with determining that the data item is valid for resolving the first concept of the primary domain, extracting, from the data item, a parameter value for the first concept of the primary domain and invoking a service based on the primary domain to produce a result using the parameter value for the first concept.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating a virtual assistant programmed to refer to shared domain concepts using concept nodes are provided. In an example process, user speech input is received. A textual representation of the user speech input is generated. The textual representation is parsed to determine a primary domain representing a user intent for the textual representation. A first substring from the textual representation that corresponds to a first attribute of the primary domain is identified. The identified first substring is parsed to determine a secondary domain representing a user intent for the first substring. A task flow comprising one or more tasks is performed based on the primary domain and the secondary domain.
