• register the at least one capability of each of the plurality of applications as registered capabilities, the registered capabilities indicating associations between applications and their capabilities;
• receive an intent of a user;
• match the intent of the user with at least one feature from the registered capabilities to identify a set of matched features;
• identify corresponding values for the one or more parameters of the at least one feature from the intent of the user;
• and
• send, to at least one application associated with a matched feature from the set of matched features, the corresponding values for the one or more parameters of the matched feature.
