Techniques are described herein that are capable of performing intent-based scheduling via a digital personal assistant. For instance, an intent of user(s) to perform an action (a.k.a. activity) may be used to schedule time (e.g., on a calendar of at least one of the user(s)) in which the action is to be performed. Examples of performing an action include but are not limited to having a meeting, working on a project, participating in a social event, exercising, and reading.

Intent-based calendar updating via digital personal assistant

A computing device receives source content and output characteristics associated with a target output device. The computing device formats the source content into multiple versions of context-aware content corresponding to specific output characteristics of the target output device. The computing device stores the multiple versions of the context-aware content in corresponding output characteristic content containers. The content containers are filtered such that only the versions of the context-aware content that correspond to the output capabilities of the target output device are made accessible to the user. The user is presented with a single namespace that is associated with the context-aware versions of the content. When the namespace is selected, the appropriate version of the context-aware content is executed based on the output characteristics of the target output device such that an optimal user experience is achieved.
