Contextual content for voice user interfaces

Abstract

The present disclosure describes techniques for dynamically determining when information is to be output to a user, as well as what information is to be output to a user. A natural language processing system may receive, from a first device, first data representing information to be output at a first point during a skill session. The natural language processing system may also receive, from a second device, second data representing a natural language input. The natural language processing system may determine a skill component is to execute with respect to the natural language input. The natural language processing system may send, to the skill component, second data representing the natural language input. The natural language processing system may receive, from the skill component, an indication that an ongoing first skill session with the second device has reached the first point. After receiving the indication and based at least in part on system usage data associated with at least one user, the natural language processing system may determine third data representing a prompt corresponding to the information and send, to the second device, the third data for output.
