Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for contextual calendaring. Contextual calendaring can schedule meetings with varying states of blocking time slots based on users' behavior with respect to the participants, topics, and tasks or context of the meeting. For example, host H invites A for a meeting with the text “we must demo our ‘one-click video’ on Friday.” The contextual calendaring system knows that A isn't available on Friday, so can prioritize the task for A on Friday relative to the demo participants and schedule a ‘firm hold’ or can suggest an alternative person based on the topic and prior context who is available for the demo. The system can mine context information, and identify, based on the context information, a desired attendee and a priority. The system can place a soft hold on the calendar for the desired attendee based on the priority.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for identifying, providing, and launching predictive actions, as well as remote device based predictive actions. An example system identifies a communication event such as a calendar event, an incoming communication, an outgoing communication, or a scheduled communication. The system identifies a context for the communication event, and retrieves, based on the context, an action performed by a user at a previous instance of the communication event. The system retrieves the action from a set of actions associated with at least part of the context, and wherein the action exceeds a threshold affinity with the context. The system presents, via a user interface, a selectable user interface object to launch the action. Upon receiving a selection of the selectable user interface object, the system can launch the action.
