1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • receiving, by a personal assistant module operated by a resource-constrained device, a request;

    uploading, by the personal assistant module, data indicative of the request to an online semantic processor;

    receiving, by the personal assistant module, from the online semantic processor, data representing a state machine comprising a plurality of candidate states of the personal assistant module, wherein each candidate state is potentially responsive to the request;

    analyzing, by the personal assistant module, one or more resources local to the resource-constrained device to ascertain one or more signals unavailable to the online semantic processor; and

    transitioning, by the personal assistant module, to a given state of the plurality of candidate states, wherein the given state is selected based on the one or more signals.
