A user's interactions and operations within the context-aware environment may be tracked, recorded, and/or analyzed. Upon receipt of an action request, a context state may be updated. The context state may be analyzed to determine whether the context state is associated with at least one predicted objective. If so, a suggested next action associated with the at least one predicted objective may be provided. The environment may use other context clues to evaluate relative probabilities of each objective and present the suggested next action associated with the highest probability objective.
