A system and method are disclosed that utilizes an artificial intelligence based virtual proxy node. The virtual proxy node includes an intent resolution model and communicates between a smart audio device and at least one secondary device, wherein the at least one secondary device is configured to be controlled by a smart audio device or smart hub. The virtual proxy node tracks interactions between the smart audio device and the at least one secondary device to derive historical and context data from the tracking interactions. The virtual proxy node uses the historical and context data to predict which secondary device will be successful in responding to the user input command and broadcasts the input command to the virtual proxy node associated with one of the at least one secondary device. The virtual proxy node includes an intent resolution model trained by historical and context data.
