Abstract: In a non-limiting example of the present disclosure, an intelligent personal assistant service may be added as an active participant within a thread of an application. A query directed to an intelligent personal assistant service may be entered into a message thread of a messaging application. An indication that the intelligent personal assistant service is added as an active participant within the message thread may be received, at a processing device. Content from the intelligent personal assistant service may be received directly into the message application. As an example, content may be provided, within the messaging application, as a message draft that may be modified before inclusion within a message thread. An input may be provided indicating to include the received content within the message thread. In response to providing the input, content received from the intelligent personal assistant service may be displayed within the message thread.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe proactive action by an intelligent personal assistant application/service to improve functionality of one or more applications. In one example, an intelligent personal assistant service may interface with a messaging application to analyze a message thread within the messaging application. The intelligent personal assistant service may analyze the message thread by evaluating context of message content within the message thread. Analysis of the message thread may occur proactively without requiring an explicit request for assistance from a user of a processing device. In response to the analyzing of the message thread, the intelligent personal assistant service may proactively provide a cue that includes content retrieved by the intelligent personal assistant service. An input may be received to include the cue within the message thread. In response to receiving the input, the cue may be displayed within the message thread.

Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically creating calendar items. For example, calendar-related activity can be detected within user-accessed content on a computing device. In response to the detected calendar-related activity, calendar information can be displayed to a user of the computing device that indicates availability of the user. The user can indicate initiate creation of a calendar item based on the detected calendar-related activity and save the calendar item to the user's calendar.
