Abstract
A mechanism is provided for integrated functionality across separate software applications to provide a response. First and second software applications are determined both of which are independently designed to perform actions to provide the response. The first software application has a first functionality software component and a first data source software component. The second software application has a second functionality software component and a second data source software component. According to a user profile, the OS selects between the first and second functionality software components a selected functionality software component, and selects between the first and second data source software components a selected data source software component from which to provide the data corresponding to the user request. The response is presented as the integration of the selected functionality and data source software components. The selected functionality and data source software components are not from the same software application.
