1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • determining, by a computer-based system, a default number of applications to be displayed in a graphical user interface (“

    GUI”

    );

    selecting, by the computer-based system and based on the default number of applications, a plurality of applications to be displayed in the GUI;

    determining, by the computer-based system, a relative size for each of the plurality of applications;

    formatting, by the computer-based system, the GUI such that the plurality of applications fills the GUI;

    activating, by the computer-based system and based on input from a user, a first application in the plurality of applications;

    resizing, by the computer-based system, the first application;

    activating, by the computer-based system and in response to the activating the first application, a second application in the plurality of applications;

    resizing, by the computer-based system, the second application such that the plurality of applications fills the GUI;

    removing, by the computer-based system and in response to the activating the second application, a non-active application from the plurality of applications displayed in the GUI;

    receiving, by the computer-based system and via the first application, input comprising a first task;

    parsing, by the computer-based system, the input into keywords;

    determining, by the computer-based system, that the second application contains data that may be obtained in order to complete the first task;

    transmitting, by the computer-based system and based on the keywords, a request to the second application; and

    transmitting, by the computer-based system, the data from the second application to the first application via an application programming interface.
