Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to the automated processing of web tasks to provide information relevant to user tasks based on past user actions and web histories. An aspect of the invention includes a system for automating the processing of web tasks in response to user requests. The system may include a transport router that receives a user task from a transport such as a short messaging system (SMS), an email system, or a telephone system. The system may further include a web task synthesizer that generates a sequence of actions to accomplish the task, typically in the form of a script for execution by a browser automation server. The script is based on past user actions, logs, and web browsing histories. The system compiles the most relevant information from the visited web pages and returns the results to the user.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment involves receiving electronic content to be displayed and edited in an application that has limited capabilities for editing an item of the electronic content. The application opens the electronic content for editing and displays a notification indicating that editing of the item is restricted in the application. Such an application can also be configured to address one or more of various additional circumstances. For example, the application may identify representations to be displayed for items that cannot be directly displayed. As another example, the application may provide an edit approver that determines whether edits that have effects on the item are allowed.
