Natural language driven planning with machine learning models

A system comprising:

• a processing unit;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereupon, which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to:
• receive a user request;
• compute an embedding of the user request;
• select a subset of a plurality of example prompts by:
• comparing the embedding of the user request to embeddings of the plurality of example prompts, and
• selecting the subset of the plurality of example prompts that have prompt embeddings within a defined distance of the embedding of the user request;
• identify a plurality of skills referenced by the subset of the plurality of example prompts;
• provide the plurality of skills and a user context to a machine learning model;
• receive a plan from the machine learning model that includes at least one of the plurality of skills customized to the current user context;
• and
• invoke the plan.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon computer-readable instructions that when executed by a processing unit causes a system to:

• receive a user request;
• compute an embedding of the user request;
• select a subset of a plurality of example prompts by:
• comparing the embedding of the user request to embeddings of the plurality of example prompts, and
• selecting the subset of the plurality of example prompts that have prompt embeddings within a defined distance of the embedding of the user request;
• identify a plurality of skills referenced by the subset of the plurality of example prompts;
• generate a skill selection meta-prompt that includes a list of the plurality of skills, wherein a return value of a first skill of the plurality of skills and a parameter of a second skill of the plurality of skills have a same data type;
• provide the skill selection meta-prompt to a machine learning model;
• receive a plan from the machine learning model in which the return value of the first skill is provided to the parameter of the second skill;
• and
• invoke the plan.
