Abstract: A method for predicting availability of a user for interaction with a digital assistant, comprises: collecting real-time data about the user and historical user-agent interaction data when the user is present in proximity to the digital assistant as determined based on information collected by a sensor of I/O device executing the digital assistant; determining a plurality of current user availability scores based on the collected data to derive optimal times for initiation of interactions between digital assistant and the user; determining a user availability indicating the optimal time slots for executing a plan having a highest compatibility with the current user availability score from amongst a plurality of plans executable by the digital assistant via the I/O device; generating a proposed schedule for executing the plan based on the user availability pattern and executing a plan by the digital assistant via the I/O device based on the schedule.

Abstract: A method for determining availability of a user for interaction with a digital assistant comprises: determining if the user is present in a predetermined proximity to an input/output (I/O) device; collecting, at least real-time data about the user and historical user-agent interaction data for the user when the user is present; determining, a current user availability score based on at least the collected real-time data and the historical user-agent interaction data to derive an optimal time for interaction initiation by the digital assistant; and executing a plan selected from amongst a plurality of plans, the selected plan having a user availability score best matching the current user availability score, wherein each of the plurality of plans is designed to be executed by the digital assistant via the I/O device.
