Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing grouped data of interest. In some configurations, a computing device can include a user interface with one or more groups configured to receive messages. The groups can be computer-defined groups, such as by the computing device or other system, or user-defined groups. Techniques and technologies described herein receive a message in the one or more groups, and determine a message relevance (e.g., utility) based on the content and/or context (e.g., time of day, sender, geo-location of recipient, message urgency, etc.) of the message. In some configurations, the message relevance can be based, at least in part, on the particular group or a cluster of groups to which the message is associated.

Message grouping and relevance

A framework for building an adaptive management system is described herein. Tools for building customized Agents that communicate by way of an interface abstraction over many mediated and non-mediated communications channels are described herein, wherein such tools allow for the Agents to be decoupled in terms of at least one of space, time, transport, synchronization, or communications direction.
