An incoming call initiated by a caller device of the caller is detected, and device data associated with the caller device that includes a geolocation is received.

The contextual information for the situational context of the caller is sent to the recipient device for presentation via the recipient device. Feedback of a call recipient is received from the recipient device following the presentation. Accordingly, one or more inference rules of the inference framework are modified via a machine-learning algorithm to generate a modified inference framework based on the feedback.
