Abstract: Methods and systems for deferring and resuming content from multiple applications. An application executing a client device may have an open content item, such as a file, document, or message. An input to park or defer the content item may be received. In response to the input, a data container for a parked item for the content item is created in a remote content-deferral platform. Metadata for the content item is retrieved and stored within the data container along with additional data, which may be user curated, to form the parked item. The parked item may then be accessed from multiple different applications via a park pane.

Abstract: A method for providing autofill suggestions in a development environment includes obtaining, from a user interface executing on a user device, a user input representing source code generated within a development environment. The source code created using a particular programming language and a programming code base. The method further includes determining, using a machine learning model, at least one autofill suggestion based on the user input, the autofill suggestion continuing the source code represented by the user input. The method further includes determining, using a rule-based semantic checker configured for the particular programming language, whether the autofill suggestion is semantically correct based on the development environment and the programming code base. The method also includes, when the autofill suggestion is semantically correct, transmitting the autofill suggestion for display on the user interface of the user device.
