Synchronization and task delegation of a digital assistant

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• receiving, from a first device of a plurality of devices, a natural-language speech input indicative of a user request to a digital assistant operating on the first device;
• deriving a task based on the natural-language input;
• determining whether the first device includes an installed application corresponding to the derived task;
• in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device does not include the installed application corresponding to the derived task:
• identifying, based on the derived task, a second device of the plurality of devices, wherein the second device is different from the first device, and wherein the first device and the second device are associated with a same user;
• causing the second device to perform the derived task;
• and
• causing the first device to provide an output indicative of whether the task is performed;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device includes the installed application corresponding to the derived task, foregoing identifying the second device from the plurality of devices.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:

• receiving, from a first device of a plurality of devices, a natural-language speech input indicative of a user request to a digital assistant operating on the first device;
• deriving a task based on the natural-language input;
• determining whether the first device includes an installed application corresponding to the derived task;
• in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device does not include the installed application corresponding to the derived task:
• identifying, based on the derived task, a second device of the plurality of devices, wherein the second device is different from the first device, and wherein the first device and the second device are associated with a same user;
• causing the second device to perform the derived task;
• and
• causing the first device to provide an output indicative of whether the task is performed;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device includes the installed application corresponding to the derived task, foregoing identifying the second device from the plurality of devices.
