  • Patent number: 10417266
    Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant to provide a set of predicted responses are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors, receiving one or more messages and analyzing the unstructured natural language information of the one or more messages. The method also includes determining, based on the analysis of the unstructured natural language information, whether one or more predicted responses are to be provided. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that one or more predicted responses are to be provided, determining, from a plurality of sets of candidate predicted responses, one set of predicted responses to be provided to the user based on context information. The method further includes providing the determined set of one or more predicted responses to the user.
