Abstract: Systems and processes for providing a search interface with contextual suggestions are provided. For example, a first user input to activate a search interface is received. In response to receiving the first user input, a first context associated with the electronic device is identified. In accordance with a determination that a first confidence score associated with the first context exceeds a first threshold confidence score, a first task corresponding to the first context is displayed. In accordance with a determination that the first confidence score associated with the first context does not exceed a threshold confidence score, a second task associated with a previous interaction context is displayed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for suggested home screens and/or lock screens of an electronic device. The suggested home screens and/or lock screens can include suggested backgrounds, user interface elements, colors, styles, photos, and the like, and can be generated and/or suggested for a user of an electronic device based on activity history information for the user and/or the electronic device. In one or more implementations, the home screens and/or lock screens may be generated and/or suggested specifically for various operational modes of the electronic device.

The method further includes obtaining, by the first process and from a link index, a link to a content item associated with the second process, wherein the link index is locally stored on the electronic device and the link index comprises links to content items communicated via a third process executing on the electronic device. The link to the content item obtained from the link index is provided by the first process for presentation by the second process, wherein selection of the link causes the second process to present the content item.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can generate and present suggestions for filling in various data input fields presented by a graphical user interface of a host application running on the computing device. For example, when a user selects a data input field presented by the graphical user interface, the host application can cause an operating system (OS) process external to the host application on the computing device to search various hardware, software, configuration, communication, and/or event sources to obtain user information associated with the user and relevant to the input field type identifier. The user information can be presented by the OS process as suggestions on the graphical user interface without providing the user information to the host application. When the user selects a presented suggestion, the OS process can provide the user selected suggestion to the host application as input to the user selected data input field.

Abstract: Events that are described in either structured data (e.g. HTML web page or email) or text in a natural language description can be extracted and entered into one or more calendars on a user's device. In one embodiment, selecting an add event command in a calendar application can cause the calendar application to search, without having received any search input, in a database of extracted events, and events extracted within a predetermined period of time can be suggested as events to add to the calendar. In one embodiment, an extracted event can cause a notification to be displayed to a user. Other embodiments are also described herein.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to, among other things, generating reminders based on information from applications. For example, a first message may be received and a confirmation may be identified. Information that identifies an action to be performed and a trigger corresponding to the action can be detected from the first message and/or the confirmation. In some instances, a reminder may be generated based at least in part on the action and the trigger. An even corresponding to the trigger may then be detected, and the generated reminder may be presented based at least in part on the detection of the trigger.

Abstract: Systems and methods for proactively identifying and surfacing relevant content on an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method includes presenting content in a first application. At least a portion of the content is presented without requiring input from a user. The method further includes receiving a request to open a second application. In response to receiving the request, the second application is presented with an input-receiving field. Before receiving any user input at the input-receiving field, a selectable user interface object is displayed with an indication that the portion of the content was viewed in the first application, allowing the user to paste at least the portion of the content into the input-receiving field. In response to detecting a selection of the selectable user interface object, the portion of the content is pasted into the input-receiving field.
