    Abstract: As provided herein, an audio signal (e.g., a user's spoken statement “check email”) may be received from the user of a client device accessing a webpage (e.g., a webmail webpage) utilizing a browser. The webpage may be parsed, analyzed, and/or mapped to identify one or more elements on the webpage (e.g., a send/receive email user interface element). The audio signal may be evaluated relative to the one or more elements on the webpage (e.g., such as by a dictionary comprising one or more audio signals paired to one or more audio commands) to identify an audio command. The audio command may be transformed into a text command (e.g., a script corresponding to a script action that invokes the send/receive email user interface element). The text command may be utilized to invoke an event (e.g., send/receive email) corresponding to an element on the webpage.

    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for searching across multiple user interfaces are provided. For example, a search query may be received from a user of a computing environment. A set of user interfaces, hosted by the computing environment, may be identified (e.g., mobile apps of a mobile operating system, browser tabs of a web browser, etc.). Content within the set of user interfaces may be queried using the search query to identify search results of the search query (e.g., webpages, social network posts, emails, or other content matching the search query). In an example, cached content of the user interfaces (e.g., recently accessed emails cached within a local content buffer cache by the web browser) may be searched using the search query for efficient querying of relevant content, such as through local or offline querying. The search results may be provided to the user.

    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for hosting virtual chat rooms of a chat room are provided. For example, users (e.g., 3,000 users) may access video interfaces, hosting a video, and chat room interfaces associated with a chat room for the video (e.g., users may access a news website providing a live stream of a current event along with a chat room for discussing the live stream). Signals of the users (e.g., a user location, age, account profile information, prior chat room message behavior, etc.) are evaluated to identify user properties (e.g., the user is an active participant within chat rooms). The chat room may be sharded into a set of virtual chat rooms into which users are assigned based upon the user properties (e.g., 300 virtual chat rooms of 100 users each). In this way, users may have more meaningful interactions within the smaller virtual chat rooms.

    Abstract: Among other things, one or more client devices, techniques, and/or systems are provided for presenting weather conditions. A grid size of a first geohash cell (e.g., space subdivided into a grid), corresponding to a location of a user, is determined based upon supplemental factors (e.g., population density, elevation, topography, etc.). A first weather station, located in the first geohash cell, and a second weather station, located in a second geohash cell neighboring the first geohash cell, are identified. A first distance from the first weather station to the location is determined, and a second distance from the second weather station to the location is determined. Responsive to the first distance being less than the second distance, information from the first weather station is presented to the user. Responsive to the second distance being less than the first distance, information from the second weather station is presented to the user.
