Abstract: A task-aware command recommendation system and related techniques are described herein. The task-aware command recommendation system can provide a user of a software application (e.g., an analytics application or other software application) with guidance by predicting commands that can be executed to accomplish a given task. For example, an ongoing task being performed by a user can be determined based on commands that have been performed by the user up to a current point in time. Information about the task can be incorporated into one or more command recommendation models, which can determine one or more commands to recommend to the user for performing the task. In some cases, the task-aware command recommendation system can include a help prediction model that can anticipate when the user is having difficulties completing a task, and can provide help for the user to continue performing the task.
