A messaging application may automatically analyze content of one or more messages and/or user information to automatically provide suggestions to a user within a messaging application. The suggestions may automatically incorporate particular non-messaging functionality into the messaging application. The automatic suggestions may suggest one or more appropriate responses to be selected by a user to respond in the messaging application, and/or may automatically send one or more appropriate responses on behalf of a user.

Automatic suggestions and other content for messaging applications

Systems, methods and computer readable media for bot interaction are described. For example, some implementations can include a computer-executed method including providing a messaging application, on a first computing device associated with a first user, to enable communication between the first user and at least one other user. The method can also include detecting, at the messaging application, a user request, and programmatically determining that an operation in response to the user request requires sharing of data associated with the first user. The method can further include causing a permission interface to be rendered in the messaging application on the first computing device, the permission interface enabling the first user to approve or prohibit sharing of the data associated with the first user, and upon receiving user input from the first user indicating approval of the sharing of the data associated with the first user, accessing the data associated with the first user and sharing the data associated with the first user within the messaging application in response to the user request.
