1. A method for reducing response latency of intelligent automated assistants, the method comprising: at an electronic device: receiving, from a user, a speech input containing a user request; transmitting, to a server, a representation of the speech input; receiving, from the server, a domain signal defining a relevant domain of an actionable intent inferred from the user request; determining whether the relevant domain is associated with a predefined action of a set of predefined actions supported by the electronic device; in response to determining that the relevant domain is associated with a predefined action on the electronic device, performing the predefined action; after at least partially performing the predefined action, receiving, from the server, data content relevant to satisfying the user request, wherein the data content is generated according to an executed task flow corresponding to the actionable intent, and wherein performing the predefined action at least partially prepares the electronic device to process the received data content; and outputting a result based on the data content to at least partially satisfy the user request.
