Web portal declarations for smart assistants

A computing device, having a memory to store a series of instructions that are executed by at least one processor to implement a web portal for an assistant support server, the computing device configured to:

• authenticate, via the web portal, a developer device based on a login credential received from the developer device;
• receive, in the web portal and based on authenticating the developer device, an input, from the developer device, associating an input word set describing a hypothetical user input with a network-enhanced action implemented by a smart assistant module at a deep link of a website and executed by a user device in response to the input word set;
• generate an assistant rule associating the input word set with the network-enhanced action;
• generate a user directive instructing the smart assistant module to perform the network-enhanced action in response to receiving a user input from the smart assistant module matching the input word set;
• and
• send the user directive to the smart assistant module,
• wherein the computing device is further configured to:
• track an action performed, in response to the user input, by a domain of the website;
• and
• update the assistant rule to reflect the action so that the action is performed in response to the user input.

A machine-implemented method, comprising:

• executing a smart assistant module on a user device;
• receiving a user input in the smart assistant module;
• sending the user input to an assistant support server;
• receiving a user directive from the assistant support server based on a comparison of the user input to an input word set of an assistant rule provided by a developer input;
• connecting to a deep link of a web site based on the user directive;
• tracking an action performed, in response to the user input, by a domain of the website;
• and
• updating the assistant rule to reflect the action so that the action is performed in response to the user input,
• wherein the input word set and the deep link of the website are received, via a web portal, from a developer device authenticated to specify the input word set and the deep link of the website in the web portal.
