User Guidance Data for Establishing A Desired End-State Configuration

A method for generating user guidance data for achieving a desired end-state configuration, the method comprising:

• receiving, from an end user, input data;
• parsing the input data to obtain parsed data, the parsed data indicating the desired end-state configuration of an application;
• determining, based at least in part on the parsed data, a set of one or more intermediate configuration states between a current configuration state of the application and the desired end-state configuration;
• generating user guidance data based at least in part on the current configuration state, the set of one or more intermediate configuration states, and the desired end-state configuration;
• and
• presenting the user guidance data to the end user.
