Abstract: A graph data structure for an artificial intelligence knowledge base includes a plurality of user-centric facts associated with a user. Each user-centric fact has an application-agnostic data format and includes a subject graph node, an object graph node, and an edge connecting the subject graph node to the object graph node. The graph data structure is designed to accommodate facts from different application-specific data providers using the same application-agnostic data format even when the different application-specific data providers use different native data formats.

Abstract: An intelligent task assistant program can identify tasks associated with a user over a reporting period based on an analysis of, and inferences drawn from, data associated with one or more personal information programs, such as an electronic calendar application, an electronic reminder application, an electronic collaborative application, and/or an electronic communication application. The task assistant may also prioritize the identified tasks based on content associated with the tasks. Some or all of the prioritized tasks can be provided to an output device for perception by the user.

Abstract: A computerized personal assistant communicatively couples to a computer database including a plurality of available skills for the computerized personal assistant. The computerized personal assistant recognizes a current context of the user. The computerized personal assistant operates a previously-trained machine learning classifier to assess a match confidence for a candidate skill, the match confidence indicating a quality of match between the current context and a reference context previously associated with the candidate skill. The computerized personal assistant executes instructions defining an assistive action associated with the candidate skill responsive to the match confidence exceeding a predefined match confidence threshold. The computerized personal assistant executes the instructions defining a complementary help action associated with the candidate skill responsive to the match confidence not exceeding the predefined match confidence threshold.
