Abstract
A speech-processing system may provide access to multiple virtual assistants via one or more voice-controlled devices. Each assistant may leverage language processing and language generation features of the speech-processing system, while handling different commands and/or providing access to different back applications. Each assistant may be associated with its own voice and/or speech style, and thus be perceived as having a particular “personality.” Different assistants may be available for use with a particular voice-controlled device based on time, location, the particular user, etc. In some situations, language processing may be improved by leveraging data such as intent data, grammars, lexicons, entities, etc., associated with assistants available for use with the particular voice-controlled device.
