Patent attributes
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to action recipes for a crowdsourced digital assistant. Users can define an action recipe by recording a set of inputs across one or more applications, by providing multiple sub-commands in a single on-the-fly command, by providing one or more associated commands, or otherwise. An action recipe dataset is generated, and stored and indexed on a user device and/or on an action cloud server. As such, any user can invoke an action recipe by providing an associated command to a crowdsourced digital assistant application on a user device. The crowdsourced digital assistant searches for a matching command on the user device and/or the action cloud server, and if a match is located, the corresponding action recipe dataset is accessed, and the crowdsourced digital assistant emulates the actions in the action recipe on the user device.
