Abstract
Disclosed is a system for automatically executing multiple functional units of operation from multiple applications to complete a task that requires data from a variety of sources. The system stores information about operations that may be executed on a client device. When executing a sequence of operations, for example in response to a user request, the system may automatically store output from each operation. When executing subsequent operations in the sequence of operations, the system can determine whether output from a previously executed operation is appropriate for use as input to a new operation. The system can thus save data from one application and automatically use that data as input to a different application. Additionally, the system may determine subsequent operations to execute in response to previously observed output values.
