  • Patent number: 12141594
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for facilitating message composition, according to embodiments of the present invention. In one embodiment, message data associated with a message being composed is obtained. The message data is analyzed to determine a message type indicating a type of message and a message context representation representing a context provided within the message being composed. Context representations representing expected contexts associated with the message type of the message are identified. Thereafter, an absent context missing in the message being composed is determined based on a comparison of the message context representation with the set of context representations. A recommendation related to the absent context can be provided, for example, for display via a user interface.
