<p>Intelligent Personal Assistants (IPAs) are now widely available in
our daily lives and can be accessed in many ways. Apple’s Siri, Google
Assistant, Microsoft’s Cortana, Samsung’s Bixby and many more
are helping us with various tasks, like shopping, playing music,
setting a schedule, sending messages, and offering answers to
simple questions. Additionally, we equip our households with
smart speakers like Amazon’s Alexa or Google Home which are
available without the need to pick up explicit devices for these
sorts of tasks or even control household appliances in our
homes. As of today, there is no interoperability among the
homes.

Recently, the increase in the availability of Large Language Models (LLMs) has greatly improved the natural language processing capabilities of IPAs. However, these technical improvements do not directly affect the architecture described in this document, as it applies to IPAs based on LLMs as well as IPAs based on traditional technologies. This is because this document primarily concerns the interoperation of IPAs rather than their specific components. The architectural diagrams below in Figure 2b and Figure 3 show how this architecture accomodates both technologies.

<p>This document is a first step in our strategy for IPA
standardization. It describes a general architecture of IPAs and
