In one embodiment, a method includes, by a client system, receiving a user input from the first user of an online social network, where the user input is associated with a subject and an intent, determining whether one or more agents associated with the intent are able to resolve the user input, identifying, responsive to determining that the one or more agents are not able to resolve the user input, one or more entities related to the subject, where each identified entity is connected to the first user via the online social network, and presenting, at the client system, one or more recommendations to the first user corresponding to the one or more entities.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user input by a user from a client system associated with the user, parsing the user input to identify a subject and intent of the user input, determining whether one or more agents associated with the identified intent are able to resolve the user input, identifying one or more entities related to the identified subject of the user input responsive to determining that the one or more agents are not able to resolve the user input, calculating a subject-association score for each of the one or more entities, ranking the one or more entities based on their respective subject-association scores, and sending, to the client system, instructions for presenting one or more recommendations to the user corresponding to one or more of the entities having a ranking greater than a threshold ranking.

In one embodiment, a method includes initiating a communication session with a second client system associated with a second user via a communication network, wherein the communication session is initiated in a first modality, receiving a ping to the first client system from the communication network to evaluate available bandwidth on the communication network, estimating, by the first client system, an amount of bandwidth available on the communication network for use by the first client system, determining, by the first client system, the amount of bandwidth available on the communication network for use by the first client system is insufficient for the first modality, and switching the communication session with the second client system to a second modality by the first client system, wherein the second modality uses less bandwidth than the first modality.

Realtime bandwidth-based communication for assistant systems

In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more computing devices, receiving, from a client system associated with a first user of an online social network, an indication of a trigger action by the first user, wherein the trigger action is associated with a user activity, determining a first user context based on the trigger action, accessing one or more recommended content objects associated with the first user context, calculating a recommendation score for each recommended content object, generating one or more content suggestions comprising one of the one or more recommended content objects, respectively, each content suggestion corresponding to a recommended content object having a recommendation score above a threshold recommendation score, and sending, to the client system in response to the trigger action, instructions for presenting one or more of the content suggestions to the first user.

Recommending content with assistant systems

In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more computing systems of a communication network, receiving, from a first client system associated with a first user during a communication session between the first client system and a second client system associated with a second user, a first user communication in a first modality, wherein the first user communication is to be sent via the network to the second client system. The method further includes determining an available bandwidth of the network with respect to the second client system, determining a second modality to send the first user communication to the second client system based on the available bandwidth, generating a second user communication in the second modality by converting the first user communication to the second modality, and sending, to the second client system the second user communication for presentation to the second user.
